Before we dig in Kingswinford
In Kingswinford, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Dudley Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 (Dudley Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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. 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.
- 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.
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Kingswinford, these make the biggest difference:
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
After installation
Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement. A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced.
If posts in Kingswinford are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
