Before we dig in Bromley
The highway authority for local roads in Bromley is Bromley Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. Warehouse impact bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
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 (Bromley Council) first — we flag this at survey.
The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where. Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
From survey to handover
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
What affects the quote
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Bromley, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
Keeping them working
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bromley.
Questions about warehouse impact bollards in Bromley
Which parts of Bromley do you cover for warehouse impact bollards?
We cover all of Bromley (BR6, BR2, BR5, BR4, BR7 and BR1) and the rest of London. We also work in Swanley, Croydon and Lewisham.
Do I need consent for warehouse impact bollards on a public footway in Bromley?
Bromley Council is the highway authority covering Bromley's local roads. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
What's a typical price for warehouse impact bollards in Bromley?
In Bromley, typically £205–£1,395 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £505 plus VAT, using our London guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
