Permissions and groundwork in Newham
In Newham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Newham Council, the local highway authority. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Newham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Newham Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- 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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Two Newham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Removal of damaged existing protection
Looking after them
Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing. Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss.
For damaged or loose posts in Newham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
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.
