Consents, ground and services in Fareham
In Fareham, 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.
If your site in Fareham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Fareham) 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. 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.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
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.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
What affects the quote
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Fareham, these make the biggest difference:
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Number of posts and length of line
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
Keeping them working
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. Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike.
If posts in Fareham are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Pedestrian protection in Fareham: FAQs
Do you install pedestrian protection bollards in Fareham?
We cover all of Fareham (PO16, PO15, PO14 and SO31) and the rest of Hampshire. We also work in Gosport, Portsmouth and Waterlooville.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Fareham?
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Fareham's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
How much do pedestrian protection bollards cost in Fareham?
In Fareham, 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.
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.
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.
