Quick answer
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your King's Lynn site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

What we fit in King's Lynn
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in King's Lynn?
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
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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
How much do bollards cost to install in King's Lynn?
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 King's Lynn.
How long does it take to fit door protection in King's Lynn?
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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Norfolk?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Norfolk, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
