Consents, ground and services in Great Malvern
The highway authority for local roads in Great Malvern is Worcestershire 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 Great Malvern 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 Malvern Hills before posts go in.
The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where. 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.
- 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.
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| 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. |
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Great Malvern
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Great Malvern, these make the biggest difference:
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
Keeping them working
Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.
If posts in Great Malvern are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Can bollards be fixed to a thin warehouse floor?
Sometimes, using larger base plates, through-bolts or polymer bollards that reduce anchor loads. If the slab is too thin or damaged, a new local foundation may be needed. We check the slab before recommending a fixing.
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.
