Before we dig in Barking and Dagenham
The highway authority for local roads in Barking and Dagenham is Barking and Dagenham Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. Crash-rated 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 (Barking and Dagenham Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Reinstatement matches paving, tactile surfaces and kerbs. Rated foundations are large, and excavation is often where projects run into trouble.
- 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.
- Check that the test certificate matches the exact model, configuration and foundation being installed, and keep it with the site records.
What happens on site
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.
Fix reinforcement and set the posts
The reinforcement cage is built to the drawing and the bollards are held to line and level in templates. Concrete is poured to the specified grade, with samples taken for testing if the specification calls for them.
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. |
| 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. |
| Deep or standard foundation designs | Deep foundations suit open ground where excavation is unrestricted. Where services or slabs get in the way, shallow-mount tested designs may be a better fit. |
Pricing crash-rated bollards in Barking and Dagenham
Two Barking and Dagenham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Traffic management, restricted working hours or night work in occupied sites
- Reinstatement of natural stone, tactile paving or specialist surfaces
- Depth and volume of excavation, reinforcement and concrete
After installation
Static rated bollards need little routine work, but they should be inspected periodically and always after any impact. Keep inspection records with the original test certificate so the line's condition can be shown to insurers or a security adviser.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Barking and Dagenham.

Do I need consent for crash-rated bollards on a public footway in Barking and Dagenham?
In Barking and Dagenham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Barking and Dagenham Council, the local highway authority. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do crash-rated bollards cost in Barking and Dagenham?
In Barking and Dagenham, typically £2,295–£11,495 per bollard, supplied and installed on a standard tested foundation, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £4,595 plus VAT, using our London 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.
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.
