Permissions and groundwork in Yateley
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Yateley'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 Yateley is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Hart) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- In conservation areas or on listed buildings, ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed.
What happens on site
Look at how a vehicle would approach
At the free site survey we look at where a vehicle could reverse from, the kerb line, the forecourt and the frontage construction. Ownership of the pavement in front of the shop is checked at the same time.
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 |
|---|---|
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
| Stainless or decorative covers | Covers over steel cores for shopping streets and branded frontages where plain steel would look out of place. |
What affects the quote
Two Yateley jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
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.
If posts in Yateley are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
