Consents, ground and services in Felling
Gateshead Council is the highway authority covering Felling'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 Felling is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Gateshead Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
- 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.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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. |
What moves the price in Felling
Two Felling jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Number of positions and types of guard
Looking after them
Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing. 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 Felling.

Do I need consent for warehouse impact bollards on a public footway in Felling?
In Felling, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Gateshead Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.

In Felling, typically £165–£1,145 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £425 plus VAT, using our North East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
