Consents, ground and services in Maldon
The highway authority for local roads in Maldon is Essex County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Flexible bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Many private-land installations in Maldon 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 Maldon before posts go in.
Where posts go in a line across a drainage fall, positions avoid channels and gullies. Flexible bollards put repeated load on their fixings, because every knock rocks the base.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
- Do not use flexible bollards where a physical barrier is needed to protect people or buildings; they guide rather than stop.
From survey to handover
Survey traffic movements
The free site survey looks at vehicle sizes, turning paths and where drivers currently clip posts or kerbs. You receive a fixed written quote with post type and fixing.
Set out the line
Posts are set out to guide vehicles along the intended path, with spacing that reads as a line to drivers.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Colours and reflective sleeves | Yellow, black, red, white or orange, with reflective sleeves for visibility in low light. |
| Low-profile deck bases | Shallow fixings for multi-storey decks where deep drilling is not permitted. |
| Bolt-down or socket bases | Bolt-down for existing slabs; socket bases allow posts to be replaced without new fixings. |
What affects the quote
When we price flexible bollards in Maldon, these make the biggest difference:
- Surface condition and need for concrete pads
- Out-of-hours working in busy car parks
- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
Keeping them working
Check flexible bollards for splits, permanent bends and loose bases, and tighten or replace fixings that have worked loose. After resurfacing or line repainting, check that the bases were not disturbed or painted over, and that posts still line up with the new markings.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Maldon.
