Town: Horley
Postcode district: RH6
Area: Surrey
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.

Jobs we can carry out

Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

How long does it take to fit door protection in Horley?

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.

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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Horley 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.
