Typical scopes of work

What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Truro, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Truro 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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
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 Truro?
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 Truro.
Can bollards at our Truro 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.
