The short version
Every protection job in Wiltshire starts with a free survey of how vehicles approach each door and where the damage is happening, followed by a written fixed price before we start.

Options that matter on site
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Wiltshire 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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Wiltshire vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Do you replace dock bumpers across the South West?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across the South West, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Wiltshire 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.
Can you protect our existing doors in Wiltshire?
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.
