Consents, ground and services in Eastleigh
In Eastleigh, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hampshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Eastleigh) first — we flag this at survey.
Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size. Raised kerbs also change the picture: a high kerb slows a wheel but does not stop a bumper, so the post still needs to sit within reach of the overhang rather than behind it.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
What affects the quote
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Eastleigh, these make the biggest difference:
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
Keeping them working
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 Eastleigh.

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.

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.
