What we check first in Tiverton
The highway authority for local roads in Tiverton is Devon County 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 (the council for Mid Devon) 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.
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.
Specification choices
| 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. |
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
What affects the quote
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Tiverton, these make the biggest difference:
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Number of positions and types of guard
Looking after them
Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.
If posts in Tiverton are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Warehouse bollards in Tiverton: FAQs

Do I need consent for warehouse impact bollards on a public footway in Tiverton?
Devon County Council is the highway authority covering Tiverton's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
What's a typical price for warehouse impact bollards in Tiverton?

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.
