Permissions and groundwork in Bordon
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Bordon's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for East Hampshire) first — we flag this at survey.
Access for the lifting vehicle matters: soft grass, paving and kerbs can be damaged by an outrigger, so ground protection mats are often laid before lifting begins. Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close.
- On public highway or council land, agree positions and specification with the highway authority or landowner.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
What happens on site
Survey and choose
A free site survey looks at the setting, ground, delivery access and where a lifting vehicle can stand. You receive a fixed written quote with the product, finish and fixing.
Plan lifting
Each bollard's weight is checked, and a lifting method is chosen, such as a vacuum lifter or crane arm, with an exclusion zone set during lifts.
Set the bollards
Each bollard is lowered onto a mortar bed with its dowel grouted in, checked plumb and aligned with its neighbours.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reconstituted stone | Crushed natural stone in a concrete mix, giving a Portland, buff or granite-like appearance for civic and heritage settings. |
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |
Pricing concrete bollards in Bordon
Two Bordon jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Lifting equipment and access for delivery
- Number of bollards
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
After installation
Keep a note of the product name, finish and supplier, because matching a single damaged bollard years later is much easier when the original specification is known. If a line is regularly struck by vehicles, consider whether steel cores, a tested product or a different layout would suit better.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bordon.

Should we use concrete or steel bollards?
Concrete suits landscaped and public spaces where appearance and low maintenance matter and where impacts are rare. Steel suits car parks and yards where knocks are frequent, because it bends rather than shatters. Many schemes use both in different places.
Are concrete bollards anti-ram?
Only if that specific product has been crash-tested. Weight alone does not make a bollard crash-rated, and an untested concrete post can crack or shear when hit hard. Tested concrete-clad products exist for security use.
