Before we dig in Rugby
The highway authority for local roads in Rugby is Warwickshire 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 Rugby is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Rugby) 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.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
- If an insurer has asked for protection, confirm what standard or product they expect before ordering.
Installation, step by step
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.
Reinstate the pavement
Paving, tarmac or forecourt concrete is made good flush with the base of each post, leaving no trip edges.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts and suited to ram-raid risks where a tested product is requested. |
What moves the price in Rugby
When we price ram-raid bollards in Rugby, these make the biggest difference:
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
- 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. Keep visibility bands clean, repaint chips before rust sets in on steel, and keep locks on removable posts lubricated so staff can actually use them.
If posts in Rugby are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
