Bollards and door protection in Harrow

The short version

Protect new or existing doors in Harrow (HA1) with impact protection sized for the trucks and trailers that pass them every day, fitted in a few hours per door with minimal disruption to your traffic.

Town: Harrow
Postcode district: HA1
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Harrow 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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Harrow

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Harrow 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 Harrow?

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 Harrow?

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.
