Consents, ground and services in Leatherhead
In Leatherhead, 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.
Many private-land installations in Leatherhead 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 the council for Mole Valley 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. 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
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
What affects the quote
Two Leatherhead jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
After installation
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Leatherhead.
Questions about pedestrian protection bollards in Leatherhead
Do you install pedestrian protection bollards in Leatherhead?
We cover all of Leatherhead (KT22, KT21, KT23, RH4 and RH3) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Epsom, Ewell and Esher.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Leatherhead?
The highway authority for local roads in Leatherhead 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.
What's a typical price for pedestrian protection bollards in Leatherhead?
In Leatherhead, 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.
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.
