Proud to support a fantastic cause!

Maltaward was pleased to support the Stansted team taking part in the LDN London Dragon Boat Race fundraiser.

Despite wet and windy conditions, the team completed the race and raised an impressive £1,563.

Their efforts contributed towards more than £24,000 raised on the day for Learning Disability Network London, helping the charity continue its important work supporting learning-disabled people and their families across London.

Although the team did not quite bring home the win, their fundraising achievement and determination made the event a great success.

Congratulations to everyone who took part, volunteered, donated and supported the event.

🧱 Choosing the right concrete barrier starts with understanding the site

Not every concrete barrier serves the same purpose.

Some are designed to control vehicle access. Others provide heavy-duty perimeter protection, support temporary fencing or help manage traffic around live construction environments.

Maltaward supplies a wide range of concrete barrier solutions, including:

Interlocking concrete blocks
Kentledge blocks
Jersey barriers
Temporary Vertical Concrete Barriers
5-tonne concrete blocks

The right choice will depend on the level of security required, the available space, site access and whether the barriers need to be repositioned later.

Our experienced team can help assess the requirement and recommend a practical solution for hire or purchase, with specialist delivery available nationwide.

Concrete bin blocks provide a practical way to create temporary outdoor storage bays for loose materials such as aggregates, sand, soil and fill materials.

They can help keep busy working areas better organised, separate materials clearly and support safer site layouts during periods of increased activity.

Maltaward supplies concrete bin blocks for hire or purchase, with options suitable for temporary and longer-term project requirements.

Road plates might seem like a simple part of a site setup.

But choosing the right one makes a big difference.

They’re used to cover trenches, excavations and unstable ground, helping keep vehicles and pedestrians moving safely while work is ongoing.

The key is using the right specification.

12mm plates are suited to pedestrians and light vehicles.
20–25mm plates are needed for heavier traffic and machinery.

Used properly, they help keep sites accessible, reduce disruption and maintain safety.

Maltaward offer steel road plates for hire or purchase, with guidance to help you choose the right option.

There are several factors to consider when hiring and installing road plates. This guide outlines everything you need to know.

Commercial site security isn’t just about stopping access, it’s about keeping everything controlled and organised.

Unsecured entry points, unclear layouts and poor visibility can quickly lead to problems, including unauthorised access, safety risks and disruption.

A stronger setup combines different elements. Barriers define boundaries, fencing and gates manage access, and clear markings help guide movement across the site.

Maltaward help commercial sites put the right structure in place to stay secure and run smoothly.

Site security problems don’t usually come from having nothing in place.
They come from gaps.

Fencing without proper access.
Barriers without clear structure.
Areas that look secure, but aren’t fully controlled.

That’s when issues happen.

A layered approach to site security helps reduce weak spots and keeps everything working together.

Maltaward concrete barriers help define boundaries and protect key areas, working alongside fencing and access control to create a stronger, more reliable setup.
