Before we dig in Wokingham
In Wokingham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Wokingham Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Wokingham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Wokingham 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. Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
Installation, step by step
Watch how the site works
The free site survey looks at where cars park, where people walk and queue, and where incidents or near misses have happened. You receive a fixed written quote with positions marked.
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Wokingham
Two Wokingham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Number of posts and length of line
Keeping them working
If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly. Keep a simple note of strikes and their locations; over a year it shows which parts of the car park drivers find awkward, which is useful when the site is next resurfaced or re-lined.
For damaged or loose posts in Wokingham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Are wheel stops enough on their own?
Wheel stops help drivers judge where to stop but a car can mount them with a firm press on the accelerator. Used with bollards, they reduce daily knocks on the posts. On their own they are not a barrier.
How far from the kerb should car park bollards go?
Far enough back that parked bumpers do not hit them, but not so far that they narrow the walkway. That distance depends on the bay length and kerb height. We set it on site with the layout in front of us.
