Bollards and door protection in Epsom

The short version

Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Epsom site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

Town: Epsom
Postcode district: KT17
Area: Surrey
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Epsom?

The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.

Keeping your site running during the work

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 Epsom: your questions

Can bollards at our Epsom 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.

Do you replace dock bumpers across Surrey?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Surrey, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.

How much do bollards cost to install in Epsom?

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 Epsom.
