What to specify
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Guildford the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Guildford can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
How much do bollards cost to install in Guildford?
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 Guildford.
Which bollards suit our Guildford 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 bollards at our Guildford 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.
