Before we dig in Deeside
Before digging near the kerb in Deeside we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Flintshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
Many private-land installations in Deeside 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 Flintshire County Council before posts go in.
The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where. Where a slab is too thin or poor, the options include through-bolting, a larger base plate to spread load, a polymer bollard that reduces anchor forces, or breaking out and casting a new local foundation.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
How the job runs
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.
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.
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. |
| 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. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Deeside
Two Deeside jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
Keeping them working
Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing. On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Deeside.

In Deeside, typically £165–£1,145 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £425 plus VAT, using our Wales 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.
