Before we dig in Coventry
In Coventry, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Coventry City Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 (Coventry City Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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. Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact.
- 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.
What happens on site
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Coventry, these make the biggest difference:
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Number of positions and types of guard
After installation
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Coventry.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Coventry?

How much do warehouse impact bollards cost in Coventry?
In Coventry, typically £175–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £445 plus VAT, using our West Midlands 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.
How close to a column should a bollard sit?
Close enough that a vehicle cannot reach the column around it, but with enough gap that the bollard does not hit the column when struck. Polymer bollards need more clearance than steel because they deflect. The gap is set from the product data.
