Consents, ground and services in Chadderton
In Chadderton, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Oldham 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 (Oldham Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Check who owns the ground in front of the shop; if it is public highway, the highway authority's agreement is needed.
From survey to handover
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts and suited to ram-raid risks where a tested product is requested. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
Pricing ram-raid bollards in Chadderton
Two Chadderton jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
Keeping them working
Ram-raid bollards are robust but not maintenance-free. If you have been raided despite having bollards, look again at the positions and gaps, because offenders tend to aim at any weak point.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Chadderton.

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.
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.
