What we check first in Great Yarmouth
Norfolk County Council is the highway authority covering Great Yarmouth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Great Yarmouth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Great Yarmouth) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
- 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.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
What moves the price in Great Yarmouth
Two Great Yarmouth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
Looking after them
Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Great Yarmouth.
