Options for bollards and door protection in Gwent
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Gwent?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Access, phasing and timing
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Gwent 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 long does it take to fit door protection in Gwent?
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.
How much do bollards cost to install in Gwent?
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 Gwent.
