- Fire exit doors and emergency routes
What we check first in Stroud
In Stroud, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Gloucestershire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Stroud is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Stroud) 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. 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.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
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.
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.
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. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Our South West guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Stroud firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
Keeping them working
Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact. Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss.
For damaged or loose posts in Stroud, 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.
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.
