About Us
The UK's Specialist Supplier
of Bollards, Barriers & Safety Infrastructure
We supply the products that protect people, property and premises — trusted by councils, contractors, facilities managers and businesses across the UK.
Who We Are
Barriers Co is a division of Express Matting Services Ltd, based in Burnley, Lancashire. We are a focused, specialist supplier — not a generalist marketplace. Every product in our range has been selected because it solves a real problem for the people who manage sites, buildings and public spaces.
We started because we saw a gap: businesses needed high-quality bollards, barriers and safety products but were stuck choosing between overpriced trade suppliers with no transparency, or cheap imports with no support. We built something better. Trade prices shown upfront. Expert support. Fast delivery. No sales calls, no quoting games, no minimum orders.
