What we fit in Hebburn

Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Hebburn, 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Tyne and Wear the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Hebburn

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

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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Hebburn?

Yes. Guards, buffers and bollards are fitted around existing doors and frames. If a guide or frame is already bent, we recommend repairing it first so the door runs properly behind its new protection.

Can bollards at our Hebburn 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.
