Options for bollards and door protection in Newbury

Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.

What this work can involve

Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Newbury the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

How the work is organised

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Can you protect our existing doors in Newbury?

Yes. Guards, buffers and bollards are fitted around existing doors and frames. If a guide or frame is already bent, we recommend repairing it first so the door runs properly behind its new protection.

How much do bollards cost to install in Newbury?

Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Newbury.

Can bollards at our Newbury site be replaced after a strike?

Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.
