What we fit in Falmouth
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Falmouth 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Falmouth can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Bollards and door protection in Falmouth: your questions
Can bollards at our Falmouth 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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Cornwall?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Cornwall, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How much do bollards cost to install in Falmouth?
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 Falmouth.
