Before we dig in Neath
Local roads and pavements in Neath are the responsibility of Neath Port Talbot Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Neath Port Talbot Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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. 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.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
From survey to handover
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| 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
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Neath firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
Keeping them working
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.
For damaged or loose posts in Neath, 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.
