Before we dig in Keighley
The highway authority for local roads in Keighley is Bradford 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 Keighley is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Bradford 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. 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.
- Leave clear gaps for wheelchairs and buggies, typically at least 1,000 mm, and keep the footway width usable, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- In conservation areas or on listed buildings, ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed.
How the job runs
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.
Reinstate the pavement
Paving, tarmac or forecourt concrete is made good flush with the base of each post, leaving no trip edges.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts and suited to ram-raid risks where a tested product is requested. |
| Stainless or decorative covers | Covers over steel cores for shopping streets and branded frontages where plain steel would look out of place. |
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
What affects the quote
Two Keighley jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Reinstatement of forecourt or natural stone surfaces
- Removable positions and their locks
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
Looking after them
Check them after any knock, because a post that has been hit may have cracked its foundation even if it still looks straight. If you have been raided despite having bollards, look again at the positions and gaps, because offenders tend to aim at any weak point.
If posts in Keighley are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do I need consent for ram-raid bollards on a public footway in Keighley?
Bradford Council is the highway authority covering Keighley'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 Keighley?

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.
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.
