Before we dig in Redbridge
The highway authority for local roads in Redbridge is Redbridge 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 Redbridge is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Redbridge Council) 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Redbridge

- Number of posts and length of line
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
After installation
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Redbridge.
Common questions
Which parts of Redbridge do you cover for pedestrian protection bollards?
We cover all of Redbridge (IG5, IG2, IG4, IG6, IG1 and E18) and the rest of London. We also work in Waltham Forest, Barking and Dagenham and Newham.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Redbridge?
Redbridge Council is the highway authority covering Redbridge'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.
What's a typical price for pedestrian protection bollards in Redbridge?
In Redbridge, 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.
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.
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.
