Permissions and groundwork in Shrewsbury
Shropshire Council is the highway authority covering Shrewsbury'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 Shrewsbury is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Shropshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables. Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
From survey to handover
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
| Steel bollards | Yellow-coated steel tube on a base plate, often concrete-filled. Robust and economical, but they pass impact loads straight into the slab. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
What affects the quote
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Shrewsbury firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
Keeping them working
Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing. Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact.
If posts in Shrewsbury are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
