In short
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Morden site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

Options that matter on site
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Morden, 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.
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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
How much do bollards cost to install in Morden?
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 Morden.
Can you protect our existing doors in Morden?
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.
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.
