What we fit in Dagenham

High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.

What this work can involve

Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
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 Dagenham 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Do you replace dock bumpers across Greater London?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Greater London, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.

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

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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Dagenham 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.
