Options for bollards and door protection in Burntwood
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- 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.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Burntwood, 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
Sites in and around Burntwood vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Can you protect our existing doors in Burntwood?
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 long does it take to fit door protection in Burntwood?
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.
How much do bollards cost to install in Burntwood?
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 Burntwood.
