What to specify
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
What this work can involve
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Morpeth, 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
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.

Questions from businesses in Morpeth
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Morpeth 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 Morpeth?
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 much do bollards cost to install in Morpeth?
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 Morpeth.
