Permissions and groundwork in Reigate
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Reigate's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Reigate is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Reigate and Banstead) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians pass, checking against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Use contrasting colours or bands so grey bollards stand out against grey paving.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |

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.

How are concrete bollards fixed down?
Usually with a steel dowel at the base grouted into a small concrete foundation, so they cannot be pushed or rocked. Some designs have a root buried in the ground instead. Free-standing placement is used only for temporary layouts.
