Before we dig in Horsham
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Horsham's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Horsham 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 Horsham before posts go in.
Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls. 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.
- If an insurer has asked for protection, confirm what standard or product they expect before ordering.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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 Horsham
When we price ram-raid bollards in Horsham, these make the biggest difference:
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
Looking after them
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 Horsham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Will bollards spoil the look of the shop?
They change the frontage, but stainless or powder-coated finishes in shopfront colours can make them look deliberate rather than defensive. Many shopping streets already have similar posts, so new ones can be matched to what is there.
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.
