We supply, install, repair and service bollards throughout Kent, from Maidstone to Swanley.
Every installation starts with a free survey: we check who owns the ground, whether a highway consent is needed, what is buried underneath, and how vehicles and people actually move through the site.

Rules in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first.
