Options for bollards and door protection in Brixton

Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Brixton, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Brixton

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Brixton site?

We check slab thickness and look for buried services before drilling. Polymer bollards and proper foundations reduce the risk of slab cracking on heavy impacts, and we recommend the right fixing for your floor.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Brixton?

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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Brixton?

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.
