Postcode district: LE11
Area: Leicestershire
Survey: Free for new installations

What we fit in Loughborough

Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.

What this work can involve

Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Loughborough, 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

For busy sites in Leicestershire 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

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Loughborough 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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Loughborough?

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.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Loughborough?

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.
