Options for bollards and door protection in Thetford
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Thetford, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions
How much do bollards cost to install in Thetford?
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 Thetford.
Can you protect our existing doors in Thetford?
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.
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.
