Options for bollards and door protection in Slough
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Slough?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
How much do bollards cost to install in Slough?
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 Slough.
Which bollards suit our Slough warehouse?
Steel bollards suit most yards and external doors; polymer bollards suit busy internal routes where they will be hit often. The slab and vehicle weights decide the fixing. We recommend after seeing where your doors are being struck.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Slough?
Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.
