What we check first in Ossett
In Ossett, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Wakefield Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Ossett is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Wakefield Council) 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. Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
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.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
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.
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. |
What moves the price in Ossett

- Number of posts and length of line
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
Keeping them working
A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced. 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.
If posts in Ossett are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
