What we check first in Dunblane
Dunblane falls under Stirling Council as roads authority. If the line of posts crosses onto adopted road or pavement, permission comes before excavation; on private land it does not.
Bollards on private land often need no planning application, but listed buildings and conservation areas are different; the planning service at Stirling Council can confirm before anything is ordered.
The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where. External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
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.
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.
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.
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. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
What moves the price in Dunblane

- Number of positions and types of guard
After installation
Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.

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.
