Consents, ground and services in Wokingham
In Wokingham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Wokingham Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Wokingham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Wokingham Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables. The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
What happens on site
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.
Check the slab
Slab thickness, joints, cracks and any underfloor services or heating are checked, and anchors are chosen for the floor rather than taken from a standard list.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Wokingham
Two Wokingham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
After installation
On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate. Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact.
If posts in Wokingham are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do I need consent for warehouse impact bollards on a public footway in Wokingham?

What's a typical price for warehouse impact bollards in Wokingham?
In Wokingham, typically £185–£1,245 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £465 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can bollards be fixed to a thin warehouse floor?
Sometimes, using larger base plates, through-bolts or polymer bollards that reduce anchor loads. If the slab is too thin or damaged, a new local foundation may be needed. We check the slab before recommending a fixing.
How close to a column should a bollard sit?
Close enough that a vehicle cannot reach the column around it, but with enough gap that the bollard does not hit the column when struck. Polymer bollards need more clearance than steel because they deflect. The gap is set from the product data.
