Options for bollards and door protection in Bognor Regis
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Bognor Regis 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
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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Can you protect our existing doors in Bognor Regis?
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.
How much do bollards cost to install in Bognor Regis?
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 Bognor Regis.
Can bollards at our Bognor Regis 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.
