Before we dig in Redcar
The highway authority for local roads in Redcar is Redcar and Cleveland Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Pedestrian protection bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Many private-land installations in Redcar 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 Redcar and Cleveland Council before posts go in.
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. 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.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
How the job runs
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
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 |
|---|---|
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
What moves the price in Redcar
Two Redcar jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
Keeping them working
A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced. If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly.
If posts in Redcar are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Redcar?
The highway authority for local roads in Redcar is Redcar and Cleveland Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. 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 Redcar?
In Redcar, typically £235–£1,145 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £565 plus VAT, using our North East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
Are wheel stops enough on their own?
Wheel stops help drivers judge where to stop but a car can mount them with a firm press on the accelerator. Used with bollards, they reduce daily knocks on the posts. On their own they are not a barrier.
