Permissions and groundwork in Camden
Camden Council is the highway authority covering Camden'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.
If your site in Camden is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Camden Council) 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.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
What moves the price in Camden
Two Camden jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
Keeping them working
Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection. Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Camden.

In Camden, 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.
Can bollards be fixed to a thin warehouse floor?
Sometimes, using larger base plates, through-bolts or polymer bollards that reduce anchor loads. If the slab is too thin or damaged, a new local foundation may be needed. We check the slab before recommending a fixing.
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.
