Permissions and groundwork in Farnborough
In Farnborough, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hampshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 Rushmoor) first — we flag this at survey.
Made ground, a high water table or soft clay may need an engineer to confirm the tested design suits the site; any change to depth, width or reinforcement must be agreed in writing by the manufacturer, or the rating may no longer apply. Footways and forecourts in towns are usually crowded with cables, gas mains, water pipes and old drainage, and a single unexpected duct can stop a bollard position.
- Ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed, particularly in conservation areas or near listed buildings.
- Check that the test certificate matches the exact model, configuration and foundation being installed, and keep it with the site records.
Installation, step by step
Set out and excavate
Positions are set out to the drawing and excavated to the tested depth and width, with shoring where the ground needs it. Spoil is removed as work progresses.
Cure, protect and reinstate
The posts are protected while the concrete gains strength, and the surface is reinstated to match. The line should not be treated as fully effective until the specified curing period has passed.
Hand over a build record
You receive photographs of the reinforcement and excavation before each pour, concrete delivery tickets, as-built positions and the manufacturer's product certification, ready for your adviser and insurers.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Static rated bollards | Fixed posts for permanent lines where vehicles never need to pass. They are a straightforward rated option to install and maintain. |
| Decorative covers | Stainless steel, cast or polymer sleeves can be fitted over the steel core to suit a streetscape. Use covers supplied or approved by the manufacturer so the tested product is not altered. |
| Rated removable or automatic posts | Where an entrance must open for deliveries or emergency vehicles, rated removable, retractable or automatic models are available. Check that the rating stated is for the exact model and position you are buying. |
What moves the price in Farnborough

Looking after them
Static rated bollards need little routine work, but they should be inspected periodically and always after any impact. Movable rated bollards need a planned servicing schedule.

Crash-rated bollards in Farnborough: FAQs
Do you install crash-rated bollards in Farnborough?
We cover all of Farnborough (GU14) and the rest of Hampshire. We also work in Camberley, Aldershot and Fleet.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Farnborough?
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Farnborough'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 crash-rated bollards cost in Farnborough?
In Farnborough, typically £2,095–£10,595 per bollard, supplied and installed on a standard tested foundation, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £4,245 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Will you design our HVM layout?
No. Scheme design and threat assessment belong with your security adviser, a specialist consultant or the manufacturer's technical team. We install the products they specify, to the tested foundation, and work alongside them on site so the build matches the design.
What happens if a rated bollard is struck?
Make the area safe and have the post assessed before relying on it again. A rated bollard that has absorbed a serious impact is usually replaced, and the manufacturer may need to check the foundation or insert. We can install the replacement to the original tested detail.
