Before we dig in Perth
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Perth means Perth and Kinross Council. Warehouse impact bollards on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
If your site in Perth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Perth and Kinross Council) 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. 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.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Perth
Two Perth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
Looking after them
Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss. On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate.
If posts in Perth are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Warehouse bollards in Perth: FAQs
Do you install warehouse impact bollards in Perth?
We cover all of Perth (PH2 and PH1) and the rest of Perth and Kinross. We also work in Blairgowrie, Glenrothes and Dundee.
Do I need consent for warehouse impact bollards on a public footway in Perth?
For anything on the public footway in Perth we check with the roads authority first — Perth and Kinross Council for local roads, Transport Scotland on trunk routes. Private ground such as a car park or forecourt only needs the owner's go-ahead.
How much do warehouse impact bollards cost in Perth?
In Perth, typically £175–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £445 plus VAT, using our Scotland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
