Permissions and groundwork in Tyldesley
The highway authority for local roads in Tyldesley is Wigan 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.
If your site in Tyldesley is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Wigan Council) 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. 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.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
- 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.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
Finishes and options
| 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. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
What affects the quote
Our North West guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Tyldesley firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Number of posts and length of line
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
After installation
Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right. Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike.
If posts in Tyldesley are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
