Town: Strood

What to specify

Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.

Loading bay safety in England

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

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Strood vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions

How much do bollards cost to install in Strood?

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 Strood.

Can you protect our existing doors in Strood?

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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Strood 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.
