What we check first in Colne
The highway authority for local roads in Colne is Lancashire 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 Colne is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Pendle) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size. 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
What happens on site
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| 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. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Colne
Our North West guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Colne firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
Looking after them
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Colne.

Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Colne?

In Colne, typically £245–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our North West 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.
