Where flexible bollards go in around Leatherhead

- Drive-thru lanes and fuel forecourts

Consents, ground and services in Leatherhead
The highway authority for local roads in Leatherhead is Surrey 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.
If your site in Leatherhead is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Mole Valley) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Flexible bollards put repeated load on their fixings, because every knock rocks the base. On tarmac, a small concrete pad or a socket base cast in concrete is the reliable option.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
- Keep pedestrian gaps and routes clear, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance where people walk through the line.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |
| 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 Leatherhead, these make the biggest difference:
- Surface condition and need for concrete pads
- Number of posts and length of line
- Bolt-down or socket base
Looking after them
Clean reflective sleeves so they stay visible, and replace them when they fade or peel. Posts exposed to strong sunlight slowly lose flexibility and colour, and eventually crack; replacing the post on its existing base is usually quick.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Leatherhead.

Do I need consent for flexible bollards on a public footway in Leatherhead?
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Leatherhead'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 flexible bollards in Leatherhead?
In Leatherhead, typically £205–£635 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £465 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
