What we fit in Wallsend
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Wallsend?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Wallsend
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Wallsend 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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Tyne and Wear, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
Can you protect our existing doors in Wallsend?
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.
