Consents, ground and services in Fraserburgh
Fraserburgh falls under Aberdeenshire Council as roads authority. If the line of posts crosses onto adopted road or pavement, permission comes before excavation; on private land it does not.
Many private-land installations in Fraserburgh need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Aberdeenshire Council before posts go in.
The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where. External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
How the job runs
Walk the site with the vehicles running
At the free site survey we watch traffic routes, note the vehicles and loads, and look for existing damage that shows where impacts happen. You receive a fixed written quote with each position and product listed.
Drill and anchor
Holes are drilled, cleaned and anchors installed to the maker's instructions. Chemical anchors are left to cure before the bollard is loaded.
Fix, torque and mark
Bollards and guards are fixed and torqued, then any associated floor markings are applied so drivers can see protected zones.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
What affects the quote
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Fraserburgh, these make the biggest difference:
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
Looking after them
Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss. Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Fraserburgh.

What is PAS 13?
PAS 13 is a code of practice for safety barriers used in workplaces, including a method for impact testing them. Products tested to it state how much impact they can take. It helps compare products on performance rather than appearance.
Should we choose steel or polymer warehouse bollards?
Steel suits lighter traffic and sound, thick slabs where cost matters most. Polymer suits busy forklift areas where repeated impacts would destroy anchors and floors. Polymer often costs more to buy but less to keep in service.
