Permissions and groundwork in Faversham
In Faversham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Kent County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Faversham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Swale) 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.
- 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
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.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |

Looking after them
Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike. Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement.
If posts in Faversham are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Pedestrian protection in Faversham: FAQs
Do you install pedestrian protection bollards in Faversham?
We cover all of Faversham (ME13) and the rest of Kent. We also work in Whitstable, Sittingbourne and Canterbury.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Faversham?
Kent County Council is the highway authority covering Faversham'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 Faversham?
In Faversham, 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.
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.
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.
