Before we dig in Crewe
The highway authority for local roads in Crewe is Cheshire East Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Pedestrian protection bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Cheshire East Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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. Where bollards protect a shopfront, the building's own foundations and any canopy columns may sit close to the line, which limits how deep and wide each base can go.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
From survey to handover
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.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
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. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
What affects the quote
Two Crewe 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
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
Keeping them working
Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right. A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced.
For damaged or loose posts in Crewe, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Pedestrian protection in Crewe: FAQs
Which parts of Crewe do you cover for pedestrian protection bollards?
We cover all of Crewe (CW1, CW2, CW5 and CW11) and the rest of Cheshire. We also work in Winsford, Kidsgrove and Congleton.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Crewe?
In Crewe, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Cheshire East Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
What's a typical price for pedestrian protection bollards in Crewe?
In Crewe, typically £245–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our North West guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
Will bollards block trolleys?
They should not if gaps are planned for trolleys and wheelchairs. Main routes to trolley bays need wider openings. We set gaps to suit the way the site works.
