Permissions and groundwork in Bordon
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Bordon's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Bordon 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 East Hampshire before posts go in.
Multi-storey and rooftop decks are a special case: slabs may be post-tensioned or carry waterproofing and heating, so drilling depth and positions are agreed with the building owner and scanned first. Anchors therefore need sound concrete with enough edge distance; anchoring into thin, cracked or weak surfaces means the base works loose within weeks.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
- Keep pedestrian gaps and routes clear, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance where people walk through the line.
How the job runs
Check the surface
Slabs and decks are checked for thickness, reinforcement and waterproofing before drilling. Weak tarmac may need a concrete pad or socket base.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.
Hand over spares and records
Post and base details are recorded so replacements match, and spare posts can be left on site for busy locations. Staff are shown how a post is swapped on its base.
Choosing the right spec
| 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 Bordon, these make the biggest difference:
- Deck scanning and restrictions on drilling
- Out-of-hours working in busy car parks
- Surface condition and need for concrete pads
After installation
Keep a few spare posts on site where knocks are frequent, so a damaged one can be swapped before the line develops a gap. Check flexible bollards for splits, permanent bends and loose bases, and tighten or replace fixings that have worked loose.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bordon.

Do flexible bollards work in cold weather?
They do, but polymers become stiffer in cold conditions and recover more slowly after a knock. Sprung-base designs are less affected. Neither type is damaged by normal UK winter temperatures.
Will a flexible bollard stop a car?
No. It is designed to bend and recover, so a car can push past it. It marks the line and discourages drivers from crossing it. Where a vehicle must be physically stopped, use a rigid bollard.
