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

Options for bollards and door protection in Walthamstow
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Walthamstow 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.
How the work is organised
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.

Frequently asked questions
Which bollards suit our Walthamstow warehouse?
Steel bollards suit most yards and external doors; polymer bollards suit busy internal routes where they will be hit often. The slab and vehicle weights decide the fixing. We recommend after seeing where your doors are being struck.
Can bollards at our Walthamstow 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.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Walthamstow 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.
