Barrier Accessories UK: Fixings, Bases & Add-Ons for Every Barrier

The right barrier accessories make the difference between a secure, professional installation and a wobbly, dangerous one. From ground fixings and base plates to reflective strips and sign clips, accessories complete your barrier system and keep it performing safely.

Essential Barrier Accessories

Base Plates & Ground Fixings

Bolt-down base plates for securing barrier posts to concrete, tarmac, or block paving. Essential for permanent installations. Includes expansion anchors and coach bolts.

Ground Sockets

Recessed sockets for removable bollards and posts. Allow barriers to be removed for temporary vehicle access, then replaced and locked.

Reflective Strips & Bands

Self-adhesive reflective tape for enhancing barrier visibility at night. Available in red, white, yellow, and amber. Essential for any barrier near roads or vehicle routes.

Sign Clips & Holders

Clips and brackets that attach signs to barrier rails and posts. Display safety messages, directions, and warnings without separate sign posts.

End Caps & Finishing Pieces

Protective caps for barrier ends and post tops. Prevent water ingress, sharp edges, and give a professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fixings do I need for tarmac?

Use expansion anchors (rawlbolts) with base plates for tarmac surfaces. For concrete, standard expansion anchors work. For block paving, use longer anchors that reach the sub-base.

Do I need reflective strips on barriers?

Any barrier near vehicle routes should have reflective marking for night visibility. It's a legal requirement for highway barriers and strongly recommended for all car park installations.
