Before we dig in Basingstoke
The highway authority for local roads in Basingstoke 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 Basingstoke is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Basingstoke and Deane) 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. 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
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Basingstoke
Two Basingstoke jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Number of posts and length of line
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
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. If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly.
For damaged or loose posts in Basingstoke, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
Are wheel stops enough on their own?
Wheel stops help drivers judge where to stop but a car can mount them with a firm press on the accelerator. Used with bollards, they reduce daily knocks on the posts. On their own they are not a barrier.
