What we fit in Chelsea
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
What this work can involve
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Chelsea 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 Chelsea 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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit door protection in Chelsea?
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 Chelsea?
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 Chelsea.
Can you protect our existing doors in Chelsea?
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.
