Consents, ground and services in Crowborough
East Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Crowborough'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 Crowborough is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Wealden) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
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.
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| 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 Crowborough
Two Crowborough jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
After installation
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. Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement.
For damaged or loose posts in Crowborough, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Crowborough?

In Crowborough, typically £265–£1,245 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £625 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
