Consents, ground and services in Worthing
In Worthing, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from West Sussex County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Worthing is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Worthing) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Rated foundations are large, and excavation is often where projects run into trouble. 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.
- 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.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Worthing firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Depth and volume of excavation, reinforcement and concrete
- Buried services, diversions and ground investigation
- The rating required and the product range that achieves it
After installation
Movable rated bollards need a planned servicing schedule. Look for cracked surfacing at the base, movement, damaged covers and faded bands.
For damaged or loose posts in Worthing, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Questions about crash-rated bollards in Worthing
Which parts of Worthing do you cover for crash-rated bollards?
We cover all of Worthing (BN11, BN14, BN13 and BN12) and the rest of West Sussex. We also work in Littlehampton, Portslade and Hove.
Do I need consent for crash-rated bollards on a public footway in Worthing?
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Worthing's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
What's a typical price for crash-rated bollards in Worthing?
In Worthing, 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.
When can we rely on the new bollards?
Only once the concrete has reached the strength set in the specification. The posts are physically in place as soon as the pour is finished, but the rated performance depends on the foundation, and full design strength is commonly taken at around 28 days. Your adviser may arrange temporary measures to cover the gap.
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.
