What we check first in Hailsham
East Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Hailsham's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Hailsham need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Wealden before posts go in.
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.
- 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
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Hailsham
Two Hailsham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
Keeping them working
Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.
If posts in Hailsham are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
