Before we dig in Redhill
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Redhill's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Reigate and Banstead) first — we flag this at survey.
Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size. 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.
- 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.
Installation, step by step
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Redhill
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Redhill, these make the biggest difference:
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Number of posts and length of line
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
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. Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right.
For damaged or loose posts in Redhill, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Redhill?

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.
