Consents, ground and services in Amersham
In Amersham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Buckinghamshire Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Buckinghamshire Council) first — we flag this at survey.
External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables. Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
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.
Fix, torque and mark
Bollards and guards are fixed and torqued, then any associated floor markings are applied so drivers can see protected zones.
Choosing the right spec
| 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. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| Steel bollards | Yellow-coated steel tube on a base plate, often concrete-filled. Robust and economical, but they pass impact loads straight into the slab. |
What moves the price in Amersham
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Amersham firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
Keeping them working
Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Amersham.

That depends on the forklift's weight with load and how fast it travels near the asset, not just the post diameter. Tested products state their impact performance, which can be compared with your fleet. We size from your vehicles at the survey.
