Typical reasons Havant sites choose flexible bollards:
- Marking pedestrian routes inside multi-storey car parks
- Temporary or trial layouts before permanent kerbs
- Approaches to barriers, pay stations and ticket machines
Before we dig in Havant
The highway authority for local roads in Havant is Hampshire 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 Havant 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 Havant before posts go in.
Anchors therefore need sound concrete with enough edge distance; anchoring into thin, cracked or weak surfaces means the base works loose within weeks. 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.
- 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.
What happens on site
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.
Fix the bases
Holes are drilled and cleaned, resin anchors or bolts are set and the bases fixed and torqued once cured. Socket bases are set flush in concrete.
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.
Specification choices
| 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. |
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |
Pricing flexible bollards in Havant
When we price flexible bollards in Havant, these make the biggest difference:
- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
- Surface condition and need for concrete pads
- Deck scanning and restrictions on drilling
After installation
Check flexible bollards for splits, permanent bends and loose bases, and tighten or replace fixings that have worked loose. Clean reflective sleeves so they stay visible, and replace them when they fade or peel.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Havant.

Do I need consent for flexible bollards on a public footway in Havant?

Can a damaged flexible post be replaced on the same base?
Usually, yes, especially with socket bases designed for it. The post is removed and a new one fitted. If the base itself is damaged or loose, it is re-fixed or replaced at the same time.
Do flexible bollards damage vehicles?
Typically very little in a low-speed knock, which is a large part of their appeal. They may leave a scuff on paintwork. A rigid post in the same position would usually dent the vehicle and bend itself.
