Before we dig in Worksop
Nottinghamshire County Council is the highway authority covering Worksop's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Worksop need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Bassetlaw before posts go in.
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. Utility records, radar scanning and hand-dug trial holes come before any machine work, and service diversions can take longer than the bollard installation itself.
- 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.
- Ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed, particularly in conservation areas or near listed buildings.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heights and diameters | Exposed heights are commonly around 800 to 1,000 mm, with core diameters varying by model and rating. Larger diameters are not always needed to achieve a given rating. |
| 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. |
| 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 Worksop
Two Worksop jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- The rating required and the product range that achieves it
- Covers, finishes and any integrated lighting
- Reinstatement of natural stone, tactile paving or specialist surfaces
Keeping them working
Keep inspection records with the original test certificate so the line's condition can be shown to insurers or a security adviser. Look for cracked surfacing at the base, movement, damaged covers and faded bands.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Worksop.

What's a typical price for crash-rated bollards in Worksop?
In Worksop, typically £1,945–£9,695 per bollard, supplied and installed on a standard tested foundation, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £3,895 plus VAT, using our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
What does a crash rating code actually tell me?
It tells you the vehicle used in the test, how fast it was travelling, the angle it hit at and how far it got past the bollard line. Your security adviser compares those figures with the vehicle and speed achievable on your approach. A rating that does not match the site's real risk is either more than you need or not enough.
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.
