What to specify
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Typical scopes of work
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Fareham, 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
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.

Questions from businesses in Fareham
How long does it take to fit door protection in Fareham?
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.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Fareham 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 Fareham?
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 Fareham.
