Before we dig in Wednesfield
The highway authority for local roads in Wednesfield is City of Wolverhampton 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 Wednesfield 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 City of Wolverhampton Council before posts go in.
External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables. 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.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
What happens on site
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Wednesfield

Looking after them
Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss. Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection.
If posts in Wednesfield are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
