What we check first in Reigate
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Reigate'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 Reigate is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Reigate and Banstead) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Reinstatement keeps walkways level and flush, because a trip edge around a new post in a busy car park creates the very hazard the posts are meant to reduce.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- 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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| 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. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
What moves the price in Reigate
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Reigate firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Number of posts and length of line
After installation
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. 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 Reigate.
Common questions
Do you install pedestrian protection bollards in Reigate?
We cover all of Reigate (RH2) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Redhill, Horley and Banstead.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Reigate?
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Reigate's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
How much do pedestrian protection bollards cost in Reigate?
In Reigate, 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.
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.
Will bollards block trolleys?
They should not if gaps are planned for trolleys and wheelchairs. Main routes to trolley bays need wider openings. We set gaps to suit the way the site works.
