Permissions and groundwork in Royton
The highway authority for local roads in Royton is Oldham Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Ram-raid bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Royton is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Oldham Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Shopfronts often sit over cellars, coal holes, vaults and service entries, so what lies under the pavement can be more complicated than it looks. Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls.
- If an insurer has asked for protection, confirm what standard or product they expect before ordering.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| 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. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
When we price ram-raid bollards in Royton, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
- Removable positions and their locks
After installation
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.
If posts in Royton 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.
