Consents, ground and services in Walton-on-Thames
The highway authority for local roads in Walton-on-Thames is Surrey County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Concrete bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
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 Elmbridge) first — we flag this at survey.
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. Because concrete bollards are heavy, a weak foundation shows itself quickly as a tilt.
- On public highway or council land, agree positions and specification with the highway authority or landowner.
- Plan lifts with an exclusion zone and suitable lifting equipment, and record the method for the site.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Reinstate and clean
Paving is made good around each base and the bollards are cleaned of mortar and handling marks.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Surface finishes | Smooth, exposed aggregate, acid-etched or shot-blasted, chosen to suit paving and resist visible weathering. |
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |

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.
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.
