What we check first in Sunbury-on-Thames
The highway authority for local roads in Sunbury-on-Thames is Surrey 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.
Many private-land installations in Sunbury-on-Thames need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Spelthorne before posts go in.
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.
- 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.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| 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. |
| 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 moves the price in Sunbury-on-Thames
Our London guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Sunbury-on-Thames firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
Looking after them
On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Sunbury-on-Thames.

Can you install while the warehouse is operating?
Usually yes, by working zone by zone with each area barriered off, or by working nights or weekends. Drilling dust is controlled near stored goods. We agree the phasing with your site manager.
