Bollards and door protection in Peckham

In short

Loading bays take a beating from reversing trailers. At sites in Peckham, we can replace worn dock bumpers, add wheel guides and fit corner bollards to protect doors, levellers, shelters and the building itself.

Options for bollards and door protection in Peckham

Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
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 Peckham, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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

Can bollards at our Peckham site be replaced after a strike?

Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.

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

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 Peckham 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.
