Permissions and groundwork in Burnley
In Burnley, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Lancashire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Burnley) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- 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.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
What affects the quote
Our North West guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Burnley firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
Keeping them working
On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate. Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Burnley.

Do I need consent for warehouse impact bollards on a public footway in Burnley?
The highway authority for local roads in Burnley is Lancashire 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 Burnley?
In Burnley, typically £175–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £435 plus VAT, using our North West guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
