Permissions and groundwork in Fleet
In Fleet, 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 Fleet is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Hart) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
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. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Fleet
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Fleet firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
Looking after them
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Fleet.
Questions about pedestrian protection bollards in Fleet
Do you install pedestrian protection bollards in Fleet?
We cover all of Fleet (GU51, GU52, RG27 and RG29) and the rest of Hampshire. We also work in Farnborough, Aldershot and Yateley.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Fleet?
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Fleet'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 Fleet?
In Fleet, 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.
Do pedestrian protection bollards need to be crash-rated?
Not usually. They deal with low-speed driver errors, so firmly founded steel posts often suffice. Where an owner, insurer or designer wants proven performance, PAS 170-1 tested products are the usual choice.
