Before we dig in Enfield
Enfield Council is the highway authority covering Enfield'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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Enfield Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
What affects the quote
Two Enfield jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
Keeping them working
A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced. Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement.
If posts in Enfield are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

We cover all of Enfield (EN1, EN2, N21, N9, EN3 and N13) and the rest of London. We also work in Cheshunt, Haringey and Waltham Abbey.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Enfield?
The highway authority for local roads in Enfield is Enfield 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.
How much do pedestrian protection bollards cost in Enfield?
In Enfield, 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.
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.
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.
