Before we dig in Grimsby
The highway authority for local roads in Grimsby is North East Lincolnshire 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.
Many private-land installations in Grimsby 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 North East Lincolnshire Council before posts go in.
Shopfronts often sit over cellars, coal holes, vaults and service entries, so what lies under the pavement can be more complicated than it looks. 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.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
- If an insurer has asked for protection, confirm what standard or product they expect before ordering.
From survey to handover
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.
Options to consider
| 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. |
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
What moves the price in Grimsby
Our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Grimsby firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
- Reinstatement of forecourt or natural stone surfaces
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
Looking after them
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 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 Grimsby are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
