Town: Chepstow
Postcode district: NP16
Area: Gwent
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
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.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Chepstow 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Chepstow

Can you protect our existing doors in Chepstow?

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.

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

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.

Which bollards suit our Chepstow 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.
