Options for bollards and door protection in Barnes
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
What this work can involve
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- 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 Barnes 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 Barnes 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.

Questions from businesses in Barnes
Can bollards at our Barnes 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.
Can you protect our existing doors in Barnes?
Yes. Guards, buffers and bollards are fitted around existing doors and frames. If a guide or frame is already bent, we recommend repairing it first so the door runs properly behind its new protection.
How much do bollards cost to install in Barnes?
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 Barnes.
