Permissions and groundwork in Tamworth
Staffordshire County Council is the highway authority covering Tamworth'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 Tamworth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Tamworth) 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. 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.
- 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.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stainless or decorative covers | Covers over steel cores for shopping streets and branded frontages where plain steel would look out of place. |
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
| 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. |
What moves the price in Tamworth
Two Tamworth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
Keeping them working
If you have been raided despite having bollards, look again at the positions and gaps, because offenders tend to aim at any weak point. Check them after any knock, because a post that has been hit may have cracked its foundation even if it still looks straight.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Tamworth.

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.
