Pedestrian Walkways & Temporary Walkway Hire
Create safe site walkways for every sector, with rapid delivery and expert support.

Safe Site Walkways for Every Industry
When you need reliable, non-slip pedestrian routes, GroundGuards delivers. Our temporary walkway hire solutions keep sites accessible and safe for staff, visitors, and the public.
With more than twenty years of experience, we help construction firms, event organisers, and public sector teams ensure every site stays safe and compliant.

Why Use Temporary Walkway Hire?
Our walkway mats provide safe, stable access wherever permanent paths are not practical. They prevent slips, trips, and mud in all conditions, protecting lawns and finished surfaces while keeping foot traffic moving. Whether you’re working on a busy site or running a public event, our safe site walkways help you:
- Maintain access in wet and muddy weather
- Prevent accidents and keep sites clean
- Reduce reinstatement and clean-up costs
- Comply with health and safety requirements
- Welcome staff and visitors with clear, defined routes

How Our Temporary Walkways Work
We supply and install a full range of mats for temporary walkways. Our team will help you choose the best option based on your site and expected foot traffic. Installation is quick, tidy, and tailored to your needs. Mats can be laid by hand for smaller areas or with equipment for larger events and sites.
