- Pedestrian crossings and the ends of walkways
Before we dig in Esher
In Esher, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Esher is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Elmbridge) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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.
- 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
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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. |
What moves the price in Esher
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Esher firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Removal of damaged existing protection
Looking after them
Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact. Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection.
If posts in Esher are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Which parts of Esher do you cover for warehouse impact bollards?
We cover all of Esher (KT10, KT7, KT8 and KT11) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Walton-on-Thames, Sunbury-on-Thames and Kingston upon Thames.
Do I need consent for warehouse impact bollards on a public footway in Esher?
In Esher, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do warehouse impact bollards cost in Esher?
In Esher, typically £185–£1,245 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £465 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
Should we choose steel or polymer warehouse bollards?
Steel suits lighter traffic and sound, thick slabs where cost matters most. Polymer suits busy forklift areas where repeated impacts would destroy anchors and floors. Polymer often costs more to buy but less to keep in service.
