Before we dig in Wednesbury
Sandwell Council is the highway authority covering Wednesbury'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 Wednesbury is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Sandwell 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. The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
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.
Fix, torque and mark
Bollards and guards are fixed and torqued, then any associated floor markings are applied so drivers can see protected zones.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
What moves the price in Wednesbury
Two Wednesbury jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Number of positions and types of guard
Keeping them working
Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact. On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate.
If posts in Wednesbury are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

What is PAS 13?
PAS 13 is a code of practice for safety barriers used in workplaces, including a method for impact testing them. Products tested to it state how much impact they can take. It helps compare products on performance rather than appearance.
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.
