Security Cabins and Gatehouses in Southampton
For organisations operating in Southampton, maintaining site security requires robust, all-weather infrastructure. Adacon’s P600 modular system is designed to provide a professional environment for security personnel, combining the speed of modular construction with the longevity of traditional buildings. We supply single-module gatehouses for controlled entry points and multi-module security hubs for larger facilities.
Our units are not refurbished containers; they are purpose-built steel-framed modules manufactured in our Turkey facility and delivered to your Southampton site fully finished internally. This makes them ideal for high-traffic environments like logistics hubs, maritime facilities, and industrial estates where a high-quality aesthetic and thermal efficiency are required. You can browse our full range of security cabins to see how the system adapts to different site requirements.
Typical Security Configurations
The P600 system is highly adaptable. Depending on the size of your team and the complexity of your site access requirements, we typically supply the following configurations:
- Single Module (approx. 13 m²): Ideal as a standalone gatehouse or checkpoint. These units typically feature 360-degree glazing to allow for clear lines of sight across entry and exit lanes.
- Double Module (approx. 26 m²): Suitable for larger teams, allowing for a dedicated monitoring station, a separate break area for staff, and an internal WC compartment.
- 4+ Modules (50 m² +): Designed for major infrastructure sites or construction HQs, providing space for shift handovers, locker rooms, integrated kitchenettes, and full CCTV monitoring suites.
Each layout can be customised using our P600 configurator, which allows you to place windows and doors precisely where they are needed for your specific site layout.
What is Included as Standard
We believe a security cabin should be a comfortable, long-term workspace. Every P600 module delivered to Southampton includes:
- Fully insulated walls, floor, and roof for year-round thermal comfort.
- Plastered and painted internal walls (no plastic-faced plywood).
- Laminate flooring and integrated LED lighting.
- Double-glazed uPVC windows and secure external doors.
- A choice of exterior cladding colours to match your corporate branding.
- Pre-installed internal electrical sockets.
Optional extras include air conditioning (essential for server-heavy CCTV rooms), internal partitions for toilets or kitchenettes, and external decking or ramps for accessibility.
Indicative Pricing for Southampton Projects
Prices for security cabins depend on the number of modules and the level of internal fit-out required. For a standard security application, buyers should budget within the following indicative ranges:
- Single Gatehouse Units: £14,000 – £18,000 + VAT.
- Multi-Module Security Hubs: £20,000 – £30,000+ + VAT.
These figures provide a baseline for the building itself. Delivery to the Southampton area is quoted as a separate line item based on the specific site access requirements. You can request a formal, itemised quote online to get an accurate figure for your project.
Delivery to Southampton and Hampshire
Southampton presents unique logistical considerations. We regularly deliver to the city via the M27 and M3 corridors. For sites near the city centre or the docks, we account for the specific challenges of urban delivery, including potential crane requirements and narrow access routes common in older industrial areas.
Our modules arrive on-site finished internally, significantly reducing the time spent on-site by contractors. We deliver across the UK mainland, ensuring that your building reaches you safely and is positioned correctly on your prepared base. Please note that groundworks, final connection to the mains electricity (consumer unit), and any required drainage are the responsibility of the customer and should be prepared before the delivery date.
Planning and Local Authority Context
When installing modular buildings in Southampton, it is important to consider local planning requirements. While many security cabins are installed under temporary permissions or as ancillary structures, rules vary significantly between Southampton City Council, Test Valley, and Eastleigh Borough Council. We recommend that all commercial clients consult with the relevant local planning authority or a planning consultant to ensure compliance before ordering.
