Permissions and groundwork in Salisbury
Wiltshire Council is the highway authority covering Salisbury'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 Salisbury is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Wiltshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Raised kerbs also change the picture: a high kerb slows a wheel but does not stop a bumper, so the post still needs to sit within reach of the overhang rather than behind it.
- 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.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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 Salisbury
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Salisbury, these make the biggest difference:
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Number of posts and length of line
Keeping them working
A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced. Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right.
If posts in Salisbury are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Can you install pedestrian protection bollards anywhere in Salisbury?
We cover all of Salisbury (SP1, SP2 and SP5) and the rest of Wiltshire. We also work in Andover, Totton and Southampton.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Salisbury?
In Salisbury, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Wiltshire Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do pedestrian protection bollards cost in Salisbury?
In Salisbury, typically £245–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £595 plus VAT, using our South West 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.
Our outdoor seating faces the car park: what should we do?
Put a line of posts between the seating and the nearest parking or driving lane, with gaps narrow enough to stop a car. Positions should allow for cars that overshoot a bay. It is worth recording the decision in your risk assessment.
