What we check first in Redruth
The highway authority for local roads in Redruth 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.
If your site in Redruth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Cornwall Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact. The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where.
- 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
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.
Fix, torque and mark
Bollards and guards are fixed and torqued, then any associated floor markings are applied so drivers can see protected zones.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
What moves the price in Redruth
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Redruth, these make the biggest difference:
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Number of positions and types of guard
Keeping them working
Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing. 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 Redruth.
Questions about warehouse impact bollards in Redruth
Which parts of Redruth do you cover for warehouse impact bollards?
We cover all of Redruth (TR15, TR16 and TR5) and the rest of Cornwall. We also work in Camborne, Truro and Falmouth.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Redruth?
Cornwall Council is the highway authority covering Redruth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
How much do warehouse impact bollards cost in Redruth?
In Redruth, typically £175–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £445 plus VAT, using our South West guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
What size bollard do we need for forklifts?
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.
