Before we dig in Egham
The highway authority for local roads in Egham is Surrey 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.
If your site in Egham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Runnymede) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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.
- Leave clear gaps for wheelchairs and buggies, typically at least 1,000 mm, and keep the footway width usable, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
Specification choices
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
Pricing ram-raid bollards in Egham
When we price ram-raid bollards in Egham, these make the biggest difference:
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
After installation
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.
For damaged or loose posts in Egham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Common questions
Which parts of Egham do you cover for ram-raid bollards?
We cover all of Egham (TW20, GU25, KT16 and KT15) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Staines, Ashford, Surrey and Windsor.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Egham?
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Egham's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
What's a typical price for ram-raid bollards in Egham?
In Egham, typically £455–£1,695 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £1,095 plus VAT, using our London guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can bollards go on the pavement outside my shop?
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.
