Where concrete bollards go in around Epsom
Typical reasons Epsom sites choose concrete bollards:
- School, library and civic building forecourts
- Park entrances and greens where vehicles should not drive
- Rural and coastal sites where steel would corrode
What we check first in Epsom
In Epsom, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Epsom is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Epsom and Ewell) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close. Each post sits on a concrete base on firm ground, and on soft verges or made ground the base is deepened or widened to suit.
- Plan lifts with an exclusion zone and suitable lifting equipment, and record the method for the site.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
What happens on site
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.
Excavate and cast foundations
Small foundations are excavated, checked for services and cast with a dowel hole or sleeve at the right position and level.
Protect while the grout cures
Bollards are left undisturbed until the grout and foundation have gained strength, with temporary barriers if vehicles use the area. Lines that need to open to traffic quickly can use faster-setting grouts where the product allows.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
| Surface finishes | Smooth, exposed aggregate, acid-etched or shot-blasted, chosen to suit paving and resist visible weathering. |
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
What affects the quote
Two Epsom jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
- Reinstatement of paving or turf
- Precast concrete or reconstituted stone
After installation
If a line is regularly struck by vehicles, consider whether steel cores, a tested product or a different layout would suit better. In areas salted heavily in winter, check for surface spalling.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Epsom.
Questions about concrete bollards in Epsom
Which parts of Epsom do you cover for concrete bollards?
We cover all of Epsom (KT18 and KT19) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Ewell, Banstead and Kingston upon Thames.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Epsom?
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Epsom's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
How much do concrete bollards cost in Epsom?
In Epsom, typically £185–£635 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £625 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can a chipped concrete bollard be repaired?
Small chips and edge damage can be filled with colour-matched mortar. A bollard cracked through or broken at its base needs replacing. Matching finishes is easier if the original product is still made.
Can concrete bollards be moved later?
Yes, though it takes lifting equipment. Dowel-fixed bollards can be lifted off once the grout is broken out, and the foundation removed or reused. Plan for it if you think the layout may change.
