Permissions and groundwork in Kingswood
The highway authority for local roads in Kingswood is South Gloucestershire 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 Kingswood is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (South Gloucestershire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact. The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Kingswood

On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate. Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact.

Do I need consent for warehouse impact bollards on a public footway in Kingswood?

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 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.
