Options for bollards and door protection in Leicestershire
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Leicestershire?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in the East Midlands 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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit door protection in Leicestershire?
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 Leicestershire?
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 Leicestershire 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.
