Before we dig in Tiverton
Devon County Council is the highway authority covering Tiverton's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Tiverton is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Mid Devon) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement keeps walkways level and flush, because a trip edge around a new post in a busy car park creates the very hazard the posts are meant to reduce. 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.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
What moves the price in Tiverton
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Tiverton, these make the biggest difference:
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
After installation
If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly. A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Tiverton.
Pedestrian protection in Tiverton: FAQs
Can you install pedestrian protection bollards anywhere in Tiverton?
We cover all of Tiverton (EX16) and the rest of Devon. We also work in Exeter, Taunton and Exmouth.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Tiverton?
In Tiverton, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Devon County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do pedestrian protection bollards cost in Tiverton?
In Tiverton, typically £245–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £595 plus VAT, using our South West 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.
