What we check first in Selby
North Yorkshire Council is the highway authority covering Selby's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Selby is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (North Yorkshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
From survey to handover
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing 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
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Selby, these make the biggest difference:
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Number of posts and length of line
Keeping them working
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 Selby, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Pedestrian protection in Selby: FAQs
Do you install pedestrian protection bollards in Selby?
We cover all of Selby (YO8) and the rest of North Yorkshire. We also work in Goole, Pontefract and York.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Selby?
The highway authority for local roads in Selby is North Yorkshire 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.
What's a typical price for pedestrian protection bollards in Selby?
In Selby, typically £235–£1,145 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our Yorkshire and the Humber 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.
