Consents, ground and services in Brent
The highway authority for local roads in Brent is Brent Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. 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 Brent is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Brent Council) 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. Car park edges and walkways tend to be built quickly over shallow hardcore, and their kerb lines often carry lighting cables, drainage channels and ducts for EV chargers or signs.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
- 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
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
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 |
|---|---|
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Brent
Our London guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Brent firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
Looking after them
Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike. Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right.
If posts in Brent are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Do you install pedestrian protection bollards in Brent?
We cover all of Brent (HA9, HA0, NW9, NW10 and NW2) and the rest of London. We also work in Ealing, Harrow and Barnet.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Brent?
Brent Council is the highway authority covering Brent's local roads. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. 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 Brent?
In Brent, typically £285–£1,395 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £675 plus VAT, using our London guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
Our outdoor seating faces the car park: what should we do?
Put a line of posts between the seating and the nearest parking or driving lane, with gaps narrow enough to stop a car. Positions should allow for cars that overshoot a bay. It is worth recording the decision in your risk assessment.
