What we check first in Bexhill-on-Sea
In Bexhill-on-Sea, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from East Sussex County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Bexhill-on-Sea need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Rother before posts go in.
Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls. We hand-dig near known services, adjust positions if a vault or duct is found, and reinstate the surface to match, whether that is slabs, block paving, asphalt or a sealed forecourt finish.
- Leave clear gaps for wheelchairs and buggies, typically at least 1,000 mm, and keep the footway width usable, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- In conservation areas or on listed buildings, ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
Reinstate the pavement
Paving, tarmac or forecourt concrete is made good flush with the base of each post, leaving no trip edges.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Stainless or decorative covers | Covers over steel cores for shopping streets and branded frontages where plain steel would look out of place. |
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
Pricing ram-raid bollards in Bexhill-on-Sea
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Bexhill-on-Sea firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
After installation
Keep visibility bands clean, repaint chips before rust sets in on steel, and keep locks on removable posts lubricated so staff can actually use them. Check them after any knock, because a post that has been hit may have cracked its foundation even if it still looks straight.
If posts in Bexhill-on-Sea are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Can bollards go on the pavement outside my shop?
Only if you own the ground or have the highway authority's agreement. Many shop frontages include a strip of private forecourt, which is simpler. We check ownership as part of the survey.
Can we still take deliveries through the front?
Yes, if one or more positions are removable. Staff unlock and lift out the post for deliveries, then refit it. The socket is designed to sit flush when the post is out.
