Before we dig in Maghull
In Maghull, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Sefton Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Maghull need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Sefton Council before posts go in.
Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size. 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.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
What happens on site
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |

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. Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement.
For damaged or loose posts in Maghull, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Common questions
Can you install pedestrian protection bollards anywhere in Maghull?
We cover all of Maghull (L31 and L29) and the rest of Merseyside. We also work in Kirkby, Litherland and Ormskirk.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Maghull?
Sefton Council is the highway authority covering Maghull's local roads. 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 Maghull?
In Maghull, 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.
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.
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.
