What we check first in Farnham
In Farnham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Farnham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Waverley) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size. 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.
- 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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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 Farnham
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Farnham, these make the biggest difference:
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Number of posts and length of line
Keeping them working
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Farnham.
Questions about pedestrian protection bollards in Farnham

We cover all of Farnham (GU9 and GU10) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Aldershot, Fleet and Farnborough.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Farnham?
The highway authority for local roads in Farnham is Surrey County 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 Farnham?
In Farnham, typically £265–£1,245 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £625 plus VAT, using our South East 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.
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.
