What we check first in Egham
In Egham, 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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Runnymede) first — we flag this at survey.
Removable bollards need modest depth, which makes them one of the easier bollards to fit around services. On block paving, the socket is set before the blocks are cut to it, so the pattern finishes cleanly.
- Check whether the location is public highway; a highway authority agreement is usually needed there.
- Keep a clear route of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm between posts on pedestrian routes, and check against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
What happens on site
Cut and excavate
A small square of surface is cut out and excavated to socket depth, with a bed of free-draining stone at the bottom so water can leave the socket.
Set the socket flush
The socket is set in concrete with its rim exactly at finished surface level and to the fall of the ground, so the lid sits flat and nothing catches on it.
Fit posts and hand over keys
Posts are fitted and locked, and the lift-out and refit routine is checked on site. Keys and any storage brackets are handed over.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heads and handles | Dome, flat or ball heads, with lifting handles or eyes so posts can be pulled out without strain. |
| Rated removable posts | Crash-tested removable models exist for security lines; they use heavier sockets and tested foundations. |
| Steel, stainless or aluminium posts | Galvanised and powder-coated steel for robustness, stainless for appearance, aluminium where lightness matters for frequent lifting. |
What moves the price in Egham
Our London guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Egham firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Lock type and whether locks are keyed alike
- Post material: steel, stainless or aluminium
- Number of posts and sockets
Keeping them working
Keep spare keys somewhere sensible, because lost keys are a common reason for a post being cut out. Check the lid springs and hinges.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Egham.
Removable bollards in Egham: FAQs
Do you install removable bollards in Egham?
We cover all of Egham (TW20, GU25, KT16 and KT15) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Staines, Ashford, Surrey and Windsor.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Egham?
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Egham's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
How much do removable bollards cost in Egham?
In Egham, typically £285–£975 per bollard with ground socket, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£335–£1,145 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £675 plus VAT, using our London guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
How heavy is a removable bollard to lift?
It depends on material and size; a slim aluminium post is easy to lift, while a large concrete-filled steel post is not designed for daily handling. If the post will come out every day, say so at the survey and we will suggest something lighter with a handle.
What happens to the hole when the bollard is out?
A lid on the socket closes over it so the surface is flush. Spring-closing lids shut automatically when the post is lifted. That stops trips and keeps debris out.
