Before we dig in Andover
The highway authority for local roads in Andover is Hampshire County 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 Andover is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Test Valley) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
- 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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |

Looking after them
Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement. Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike.

Put a line of posts between the seating and the nearest parking or driving lane, with gaps narrow enough to stop a car. Positions should allow for cars that overshoot a bay. It is worth recording the decision in your risk assessment.
