What we check first in Monmouth
In Monmouth the highway authority for local roads is Monmouthshire County Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because warehouse impact bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
If your site in Monmouth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Monmouthshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Warehouse floors vary from thick reinforced slabs to thin toppings over older concrete, and some contain underfloor heating, ducting or wire-guidance systems for automated trucks that must not be cut. Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
What affects the quote
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Monmouth firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
Looking after them
Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.
If posts in Monmouth are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
