What we fit in Leicester
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Leicester?
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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can bollards at our Leicester 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.
Which bollards suit our Leicester warehouse?
Steel bollards suit most yards and external doors; polymer bollards suit busy internal routes where they will be hit often. The slab and vehicle weights decide the fixing. We recommend after seeing where your doors are being struck.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Leicester 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.
