Consents, ground and services in Fleet
The highway authority for local roads in Fleet is Hampshire County 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.
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 (the council for Hart) first — we flag this at survey.
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. Shopfronts often sit over cellars, coal holes, vaults and service entries, so what lies under the pavement can be more complicated than it looks.
- 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.
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.
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. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
| Stainless or decorative covers | Covers over steel cores for shopping streets and branded frontages where plain steel would look out of place. |
Pricing ram-raid bollards in Fleet
Two Fleet jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Removable positions and their locks
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
- Reinstatement of forecourt or natural stone surfaces
Looking after them
Ram-raid bollards are robust but not maintenance-free. 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.
If posts in Fleet are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do I need consent for ram-raid bollards on a public footway in Fleet?

In Fleet, typically £415–£1,595 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £995 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
How many bollards does a shopfront need?
Enough to leave no gap a car could pass through across the vulnerable part of the frontage. For a typical small shop that is often three to five posts, but it depends on the frontage width and where a vehicle could approach from. The survey sets the number.
Will bollards spoil the look of the shop?
They change the frontage, but stainless or powder-coated finishes in shopfront colours can make them look deliberate rather than defensive. Many shopping streets already have similar posts, so new ones can be matched to what is there.
