In short
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Maesteg site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

What to specify
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Maesteg?
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.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Mid Glamorgan 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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Maesteg 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 much do bollards cost to install in Maesteg?
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 Maesteg.
Can you protect our existing doors in Maesteg?
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.
