What we fit in Radcliffe

Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Radcliffe, 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

Most installations in Radcliffe 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.

Questions from businesses in Radcliffe

Can bollards at our Radcliffe 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 Radcliffe 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.

How much do bollards cost to install in Radcliffe?

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 Radcliffe.
