What we fit in Gloucestershire
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Gloucestershire 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.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Bollards and door protection in Gloucestershire: your questions
How long does it take to fit door protection in Gloucestershire?
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.
How much do bollards cost to install in Gloucestershire?
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 Gloucestershire.
Can bollards at our Gloucestershire 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.
