What we check first in Peterborough
The highway authority for local roads in Peterborough is Peterborough City Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Warehouse impact bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Peterborough is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Peterborough City 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. Warehouse floors vary from thick reinforced slabs to thin toppings over older concrete, and some contain underfloor heating, ducting or wire-guidance systems for automated trucks that must not be cut.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
From survey to handover
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.
Plan around operations
Work is phased by aisle or zone, or done out of hours, with each area barriered off while drilling. Dust is controlled with extraction where products are stored nearby.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Peterborough
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Peterborough, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Floor marking and associated signage
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 Peterborough.
