Before we dig in Kidsgrove
The highway authority for local roads in Kidsgrove is Staffordshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Warehouse impact bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
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 (the council for Newcastle-under-Lyme) first — we flag this at survey.
External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables. Where a slab is too thin or poor, the options include through-bolting, a larger base plate to spread load, a polymer bollard that reduces anchor forces, or breaking out and casting a new local foundation.
- 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.
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Two Kidsgrove jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Number of positions and types of guard
After installation
On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate. Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Kidsgrove.
