Consents, ground and services in Staines
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Staines's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 Spelthorne) first — we flag this at survey.
Reinstatement matches paving, tactile surfaces and kerbs. 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.
- Check that the test certificate matches the exact model, configuration and foundation being installed, and keep it with the site records.
- 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.
Installation, step by step
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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. |
Pricing crash-rated bollards in Staines
Two Staines jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Covers, finishes and any integrated lighting
- Buried services, diversions and ground investigation
- Depth and volume of excavation, reinforcement and concrete
Keeping them working
A rated bollard that has stopped a vehicle has done its job and should be assessed with the manufacturer; in most cases the post, and sometimes the foundation insert, is replaced rather than straightened. Movable rated bollards need a planned servicing schedule.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Staines.

What's a typical price for crash-rated bollards in Staines?
In Staines, 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.
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.
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.
