Before we dig in Hull
The highway authority for local roads in Hull is Hull 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 Hull is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Hull City Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where. External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
What moves the price in Hull
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Hull, these make the biggest difference:
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
After installation
Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection. On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate.
For damaged or loose posts in Hull, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Usually yes, by working zone by zone with each area barriered off, or by working nights or weekends. Drilling dust is controlled near stored goods. We agree the phasing with your site manager.
