Consents, ground and services in Sunbury-on-Thames
In Sunbury-on-Thames, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Sunbury-on-Thames 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 the council for Spelthorne before posts go in.
Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls. 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.
- In conservation areas or on listed buildings, ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed.
- If an insurer has asked for protection, confirm what standard or product they expect before ordering.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| 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. |
What moves the price in Sunbury-on-Thames
When we price ram-raid bollards in Sunbury-on-Thames, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
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 Sunbury-on-Thames, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
Will bollards stop an ATM being ripped out?
Correctly placed bollards stop a vehicle getting close enough to attach chains or ram the surround. They work alongside the machine's own anchoring and the bank's security measures. Positions need to cover the wall either side of the ATM as well as the front.
