Consents, ground and services in Bebington
In Bebington, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Wirral 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 (Wirral Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Shopfronts often sit over cellars, coal holes, vaults and service entries, so what lies under the pavement can be more complicated than it looks. 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.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
- 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.
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. |
| 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
Our North West guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Bebington firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
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.
For damaged or loose posts in Bebington, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
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.
