Whether it's filling-station forecourts, schools and town-centre squares, crash-rated bollards in Epsom are planned around who needs to get through and who doesn't. The rating only holds when the bollard is installed to the same foundation design that was tested.
We work across KT18 and KT19 — Epsom itself and places including Langley Vale and Worcester Park. Jobs in Epsom can be combined with work in Ewell (1.6 miles), Banstead (2.8 miles), Kingston upon Thames (3.5 miles) and Leatherhead (3.6 miles) (straight-line distances). Epsom is about 31 miles from Reading.

Consents, ground and services in Epsom
The highway authority for local roads in Epsom is Surrey 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 Epsom is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Epsom and Ewell) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Reinstatement matches paving, tactile surfaces and kerbs.
- Confirm who owns the land: works on public highway usually need the highway authority's agreement, and permanent street furniture there may need a licence.
- 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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 affects the quote
When we price crash-rated bollards in Epsom, these make the biggest difference:
- The rating required and the product range that achieves it
- Reinstatement of natural stone, tactile paving or specialist surfaces
- Depth and volume of excavation, reinforcement and concrete
Looking after them
Look for cracked surfacing at the base, movement, damaged covers and faded bands. Static rated bollards need little routine work, but they should be inspected periodically and always after any impact.
If posts in Epsom are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Can you install crash-rated bollards anywhere in Epsom?
We cover all of Epsom (KT18 and KT19) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Ewell, Banstead and Kingston upon Thames.
Do I need consent for crash-rated bollards on a public footway in Epsom?
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Epsom'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 Epsom?
In Epsom, 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.
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.
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.
