What we check first in Haringey
The highway authority for local roads in Haringey is Haringey 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.
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 (Haringey Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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. 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
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.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
What affects the quote
Our London guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Haringey firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Number of posts and length of line
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
After installation
If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly. 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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Haringey.

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.
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.
