Before we dig in Hazel Grove
In Hazel Grove, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Stockport Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Hazel Grove is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Stockport Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Cable trenches run between every position and back to the supply, often crossing paths, drives and planting, so the routes are planned to minimise cuts through hard surfaces and to avoid existing gas, water and telecoms services. Bases are set in firm ground with the cable entry facing the right way, and on paved routes the bollards are positioned so cables can be pulled through ducts rather than requiring surfaces to be lifted again later.
- Have the electrical installation designed, installed, tested and certified by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- In homes, new outdoor circuits are often notifiable building work; a registered electrician can usually self-certify it.
How the job runs
Survey and lighting layout
A free site survey looks at the routes to be lit, where power can come from, surfaces and buried services. Bollard spacing is set from the product's light data, and you receive a fixed written quote.
Dig cable routes
Trenches are dug between bollard positions and the supply point, avoiding existing services, with cable or duct laid at a suitable depth and warning tape above.
Reinstate
Trenches are backfilled and surfaces made good, whether paving, tarmac, gravel or turf.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|

- Length of cable routes and surfaces to be cut

What IP rating do outdoor bollard lights need?
Usually at least IP65 for rain and splashing, and higher where water may collect or fittings are hosed down. Ask for the rating of the complete fitting, not just the LED module.
Will lighting bollards survive in a car park?
Choose robust bodies with a high impact rating and place them where vehicles are unlikely to hit them, such as behind kerbs or alongside protective posts. A lighting bollard is not designed to stop a car.
