Options for bollards and door protection in Burnley
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Burnley 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
How much do bollards cost to install in Burnley?
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 Burnley.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Burnley?
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.
Can you protect our existing doors in Burnley?
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.
