Town: Prestwich
Postcode district: M25
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.

Jobs we can carry out

Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Prestwich, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Greater Manchester 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.

Questions from businesses in Prestwich

Can bollards at our Prestwich 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 Prestwich 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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Prestwich?

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.
