Options that matter on site
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
What this work can involve
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- 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 Chesterfield?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Chesterfield
Can bollards at our Chesterfield 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 Derbyshire?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Derbyshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How much do bollards cost to install in Chesterfield?
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 Chesterfield.
