Yellow steel and polymer impact bollards for forklift zones, loading bays, doors, columns and racking inside warehouses. In Winchester, that tends to mean sites such as community car parks, small industrial units and high street shopfronts.

Permissions and groundwork in Winchester
The highway authority for local roads in Winchester is Hampshire County 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 Winchester is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Winchester) 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.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- 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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Two Winchester jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
Looking after them
Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing. Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact.
If posts in Winchester 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 Winchester?
The highway authority for local roads in Winchester is Hampshire County 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.
How much do warehouse impact bollards cost in Winchester?
In Winchester, typically £185–£1,245 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £465 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
