Before we dig in Hastings
East Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Hastings's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Hastings is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Hastings) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Hastings firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Floor marking and associated signage
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.
For damaged or loose posts in Hastings, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

What is PAS 13?
PAS 13 is a code of practice for safety barriers used in workplaces, including a method for impact testing them. Products tested to it state how much impact they can take. It helps compare products on performance rather than appearance.
