What to specify
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Hornchurch?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Hornchurch 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

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.

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 Hornchurch.

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.
