Before we dig in Ewell
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Ewell'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 Ewell is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Epsom and Ewell) 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. Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
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.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
What moves the price in Ewell
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Ewell firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Number of posts and length of line
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
Looking after them
A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced. Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike.
For damaged or loose posts in Ewell, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
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.
