Before we dig in Arnold
Nottinghamshire County Council is the highway authority covering Arnold's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Arnold 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 the council for Gedling before posts go in.
Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact. External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
What happens on site
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.
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. |
| 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. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Arnold
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Arnold, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
Keeping them working
On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate. Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection.
For damaged or loose posts in Arnold, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
How close to a column should a bollard sit?
Close enough that a vehicle cannot reach the column around it, but with enough gap that the bollard does not hit the column when struck. Polymer bollards need more clearance than steel because they deflect. The gap is set from the product data.
