What we fit in Redruth
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Redruth 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit door protection in Redruth?
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.
Which bollards suit our Redruth 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 much do bollards cost to install in Redruth?
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 Redruth.
