Before we dig in Hounslow
Hounslow Council is the highway authority covering Hounslow'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.
Many private-land installations in Hounslow need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Hounslow Council before posts go in.
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.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
- 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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
| 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. |
What moves the price in Hounslow

After installation
Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.
