What we fit in Uppingham
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- 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 Uppingham, 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.
How the work is organised
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.

Bollards and door protection in Uppingham: your questions
Can bollards at our Uppingham site be replaced after a strike?
Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.
How much do bollards cost to install in Uppingham?
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 Uppingham.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Uppingham 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.
