Options for bollards and door protection in Newmarket
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Newmarket, 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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Newmarket 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 bollards at our Newmarket 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 Newmarket?
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 Newmarket.
