Options that matter on site
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Blackpool, 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
Most installations in Blackpool can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Bollards and door protection in Blackpool: your questions
Can you protect our existing doors in Blackpool?
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.
Can bollards at our Blackpool site be replaced after a strike?
Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.
How much do bollards cost to install in Blackpool?
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 Blackpool.
