What we fit in Bury St Edmunds
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.

Typical scopes of work
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- 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 Bury St Edmunds, 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Questions from businesses in Bury St Edmunds
Which bollards suit our Bury St Edmunds warehouse?
Steel bollards suit most yards and external doors; polymer bollards suit busy internal routes where they will be hit often. The slab and vehicle weights decide the fixing. We recommend after seeing where your doors are being struck.
Can you protect our existing doors in Bury St Edmunds?
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 Bury St Edmunds?
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.
