Permissions and groundwork in Sandhurst
Bracknell Forest Council is the highway authority covering Sandhurst'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 Sandhurst is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Bracknell Forest Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls. Shop forecourts may be thin concrete over old fill, and filling station forecourts carry fuel lines, tank vents and interceptors that must be located precisely before anything is dug.
- If an insurer has asked for protection, confirm what standard or product they expect before ordering.
- Leave clear gaps for wheelchairs and buggies, typically at least 1,000 mm, and keep the footway width usable, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
How the job runs
Agree the post type and positions
We agree unrated or tested posts with you, your landlord and any insurer or security adviser involved. A fixed written quote sets out the positions, foundations and reinstatement.
Arrange consents
If the posts will stand on public highway, the highway authority's agreement is needed before work starts. Landlord consent is usually needed for leased units.
Excavate and set the posts
Each position is hand-dug near services and taken to depth, then the post is set plumb in a reinforced concrete base. Work is planned around trading hours where possible.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
| Crash-rated bollards | Tested to IWA 14-1, ISO 22343-1 or PAS 68 for high-value premises or where a vehicle could build up speed. |
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
What moves the price in Sandhurst
Two Sandhurst jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
- Removable positions and their locks
Keeping them working
If you have been raided despite having bollards, look again at the positions and gaps, because offenders tend to aim at any weak point. Check them after any knock, because a post that has been hit may have cracked its foundation even if it still looks straight.
For damaged or loose posts in Sandhurst, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Will bollards stop an ATM being ripped out?
Correctly placed bollards stop a vehicle getting close enough to attach chains or ram the surround. They work alongside the machine's own anchoring and the bank's security measures. Positions need to cover the wall either side of the ATM as well as the front.
What is PAS 170-1 and do I need it?
PAS 170-1 is a standard for testing vehicle security barriers against low-speed impacts. It suits ram-raid risks where someone has asked for tested performance, such as an insurer or security adviser. If nobody has asked for a tested product, a well-founded unrated post is often adequate.
