What we fit in Caterham

Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.

Jobs we can carry out

Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Caterham, 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Caterham

How much do bollards cost to install in Caterham?

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 Caterham.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Caterham 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 Caterham 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.
