What we check first in Halesowen
In Halesowen, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Dudley Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Halesowen is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Dudley Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement matches paving, tactile surfaces and kerbs. 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.
- 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.
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.
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.
Specification choices
| 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. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Halesowen firms them up. What tends to move them:
- 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
Looking after them
Static rated bollards need little routine work, but they should be inspected periodically and always after any impact. Movable rated bollards need a planned servicing schedule.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Halesowen.
Questions about crash-rated bollards in Halesowen
Can you install crash-rated bollards anywhere in Halesowen?
We cover all of Halesowen (B62 and B63) and the rest of West Midlands. We also work in Brierley Hill, Dudley and Stourbridge.
Do I need consent for crash-rated bollards on a public footway in Halesowen?
The highway authority for local roads in Halesowen is Dudley 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.
How much do crash-rated bollards cost in Halesowen?
In Halesowen, typically £1,995–£9,995 per bollard, supplied and installed on a standard tested foundation, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £3,995 plus VAT, using our West Midlands 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.
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.
