Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
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

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 Lytham St Annes, 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Bollards and door protection in Lytham St Annes: your questions

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Lytham St Annes 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 long does it take to fit door protection in Lytham St Annes?

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 bollards at our Lytham St Annes 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.
