What we check first in Andover
In Andover, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hampshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Andover is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Test Valley) 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. 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.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
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.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
What affects the quote
Two Andover jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Number of positions and types of guard
Looking after them
Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection. On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate.
If posts in Andover are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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

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.
How close to a column should a bollard sit?
Close enough that a vehicle cannot reach the column around it, but with enough gap that the bollard does not hit the column when struck. Polymer bollards need more clearance than steel because they deflect. The gap is set from the product data.
