We supply and fit crash-rated bollards throughout Leyland, typically for sites such as schools, filling-station forecourts and community car parks. The rating only holds when the bollard is installed to the same foundation design that was tested.
We work across PR25, PR26 and PR5 — Leyland itself and places including Farington Moss, Midge Hall, Bamber Bridge and Gregson Lane. Nearby, we also work in Chorley (4.4 miles), Preston (4.5 miles), Blackburn (9.1 miles) and Darwen (9.1 miles), measured as the crow flies. Preston is around 5 miles away.

Before we dig in Leyland
The highway authority for local roads in Leyland is Lancashire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Crash-rated bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Leyland is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for South Ribble) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Rated foundations are large, and excavation is often where projects run into trouble.
- Agree how emergency vehicles will get through, and refer to guidance on selecting and installing vehicle security barriers such as PAS 69 or ISO 22343-2.
- Balance the gaps: narrow enough to stop a vehicle, typically no more than about 1,200 mm, but wide enough for wheelchair users and buggies — check against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
What happens on site
Start from the specification
We work from the specification issued by your security adviser or the manufacturer: product, rating, positions and foundation drawing. If no specification exists yet, we can put you in touch with the manufacturer's technical team, but we do not set the threat level ourselves.
Free site survey and ground checks
A free site survey looks at access, surfaces and likely services, followed by utility searches, radar scanning and trial holes where needed. You then receive a fixed written quote based on what the survey found.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Finishes and visibility bands | Galvanised and powder-coated finishes in RAL colours, with contrasting or reflective bands near the top so the posts are visible to pedestrians and drivers. |
| 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. |
Pricing crash-rated bollards in Leyland
Our North West guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Leyland firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Buried services, diversions and ground investigation
- Covers, finishes and any integrated lighting
- Reinstatement of natural stone, tactile paving or specialist surfaces
After installation
Movable rated bollards need a planned servicing schedule. Static rated bollards need little routine work, but they should be inspected periodically and always after any impact.
If posts in Leyland are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Which parts of Leyland do you cover for crash-rated bollards?
We cover all of Leyland (PR25, PR26 and PR5) and the rest of Lancashire. We also work in Chorley, Preston and Blackburn.
Do I need consent for crash-rated bollards on a public footway in Leyland?
Lancashire County Council is the highway authority covering Leyland's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
What's a typical price for crash-rated bollards in Leyland?
In Leyland, typically £1,945–£9,795 per bollard, supplied and installed on a standard tested foundation, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £3,895 plus VAT, using our North West guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
When can we rely on the new bollards?
Only once the concrete has reached the strength set in the specification. The posts are physically in place as soon as the pour is finished, but the rated performance depends on the foundation, and full design strength is commonly taken at around 28 days. Your adviser may arrange temporary measures to cover the gap.
Why can't the foundation be adjusted to suit our ground?
Because the rating belongs to the bollard and foundation as tested together. Making the hole shallower, narrower or lighter on steel changes how the system behaves on impact. If site conditions force a change, the manufacturer has to approve it in writing, and some changes mean choosing a different product such as a shallow-mount system.
