Consents, ground and services in Montrose
For anything on the public footway in Montrose we check with the roads authority first — Angus Council for local roads, Transport Scotland on trunk routes. Private ground such as a car park or forecourt only needs the owner's go-ahead.
If your site in Montrose is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Angus Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Raised kerbs also change the picture: a high kerb slows a wheel but does not stop a bumper, so the post still needs to sit within reach of the overhang rather than behind it. Car park edges and walkways tend to be built quickly over shallow hardcore, and their kerb lines often carry lighting cables, drainage channels and ducts for EV chargers or signs.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
How the job runs
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
Agree a plan for live trading
Work is phased so entrances and walkways stay open, with each section fenced while it is dug and set. Busy sites often prefer early starts or quieter weekdays.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |

- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Number of posts and length of line
Looking after them
Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike. Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement.
If posts in Montrose are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Can you install pedestrian protection bollards anywhere in Montrose?
We cover all of Montrose (DD10) and the rest of Angus. We also work in Arbroath, Forfar and Carnoustie.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Montrose?
Montrose falls under Angus Council as roads authority. If the line of posts crosses onto adopted road or pavement, permission comes before excavation; on private land it does not.
How much do pedestrian protection bollards cost in Montrose?
In Montrose, typically £245–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £595 plus VAT, using our Scotland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Should bollards be added at a drive-thru order point?
Often, yes, where people queue or sit beside the lane. Posts should follow the curve of the lane and be closest together at corners, where drivers tend to misjudge the turn. The positions are agreed on site with the operator.
Do pedestrian protection bollards need to be crash-rated?
Not usually. They deal with low-speed driver errors, so firmly founded steel posts often suffice. Where an owner, insurer or designer wants proven performance, PAS 170-1 tested products are the usual choice.
