Consents, ground and services in Camborne
The highway authority for local roads in Camborne is Cornwall 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.
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 (Cornwall Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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. External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
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.
Finishes and options
| 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 Camborne
Two Camborne jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Removal of damaged existing protection
Looking after them
Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact. Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Camborne.

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.
