Before we dig in Jarrow
South Tyneside Council is the highway authority covering Jarrow'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 Jarrow is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (South Tyneside Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls.
- 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.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
Pricing ram-raid bollards in Jarrow
Our North East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Jarrow firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
After installation
Check them after any knock, because a post that has been hit may have cracked its foundation even if it still looks straight. Ram-raid bollards are robust but not maintenance-free.
If posts in Jarrow are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Jarrow?

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.
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.
