Contraband netting is a physical barrier fitted across exercise yards, light wells, windows and open perimeters to stop drugs, mobile phones, weapons and other banned items being thrown or flown over the wall into a secure facility. Lancashire’s prison estate is concentrated around Preston and Leyland, and they are a constant target for “throw-overs” from surrounding streets and for drone drops. JG Pest Control installs and maintains contraband netting across Preston and Lancashire.
Protecting the secure estate around Preston
From HMP Preston in the city, with HMP Garth and HMP Wymott at Leyland and HMP Kirkham nearby to the secure hospitals, court holding suites and private facilities nearby, the area around Preston holds a range of high-security sites. Each has its own sightlines, yard layout and building constraints, so every installation we carry out is surveyed and made to measure.
Built to stop throw-overs and drone drops
- Stops items being thrown in from neighbouring streets, rooftops and vehicles
- Acts as a barrier against drone-delivered packages dropped into yards and light wells
- Protects exercise yards, atriums, stairwells and open walkways
- Fire-retardant, highly chemical and weather resistant for year-round outdoor use
- Discreet, made-to-measure fit for both modern units and older, listed structures
Made to measure for every Preston facility
No two sites are the same - a Victorian wing calls for a very different system to a modern unit or a high-rise light well. We carry the full range of heavy-duty posts, brackets, strainers, bolts and fixings needed to span large yards or awkward gaps, and we install with minimal disruption to a live regime.
Discreet, professional installation
Our technicians are experienced working in and around live custodial and high-security environments, where discretion and reliability matter as much as the netting itself. We plan around each site’s access and daily timetable, and we guarantee every job we undertake.
Coverage across Lancashire
We cover Preston and the surrounding area, including Leyland, Chorley, Blackburn, Blackpool, Lancaster and Wigan. Wherever your site sits, we can be on-site to survey it.
