Before we dig in Treharris
Before digging near the kerb in Treharris we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
Many private-land installations in Treharris 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 Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council before posts go in.
The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where. External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables.
- 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.
How the job runs
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
| 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 Treharris jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
Looking after them
Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact. On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate.
For damaged or loose posts in Treharris, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Do I need consent for warehouse impact bollards on a public footway in Treharris?
Before digging near the kerb in Treharris we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
How much do warehouse impact bollards cost in Treharris?
In Treharris, typically £165–£1,145 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £425 plus VAT, using our Wales 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 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.
