Options for bollards and door protection in Borehamwood

Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.

Examples of work we can quote for

Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Borehamwood, 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 Hertfordshire 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.

Bollards and door protection in Borehamwood: your questions

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Borehamwood 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 Borehamwood?

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 Borehamwood?

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.
