Permissions and groundwork in Epsom
The highway authority for local roads in Epsom is Surrey County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Shallow-mount 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 Epsom is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Epsom and Ewell) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Shallow does not mean simple. Utility owners may set minimum separation distances or ask to be present when digging near their apparatus.
- Agree works and separation distances with utility owners, and with the highway authority where the line is on public highway.
- Keep the test certificate for the exact system and configuration, including the minimum run length and end details.
How the job runs
Cut and excavate the trench
Paving is lifted and kept for reuse where possible, and a shallow trench is excavated by hand near known services. Where a service sits higher than expected, work stops and the detail is referred back.
Assemble and level the frame
Frame sections are placed, joined and set to line and level, with posts fixed as the drawing shows. Joints and fixings are photographed before any concrete goes in.
Pour, cure and reinstate
Concrete is placed to the specified grade and finish depth, then the surface is rebuilt to match. The line is protected until the specified curing period has passed.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Rated planters and street furniture | Benches, planters and cycle stands built around a tested shallow core, used where a line of posts would look out of place. |
| Modular cassette sections | Pre-made sections joined on site, allowing short runs and changes of direction within the manufacturer's tested limits. |
| Linked-frame systems | Posts are welded or bolted to a continuous steel frame laid in a shallow trench and encased in concrete. Suited to straight or gently curved lines. |
What affects the quote
When we price shallow-mount bollards in Epsom, these make the biggest difference:
- Structural engineering checks on slabs or decks
- Changes of direction, end details and removable positions
- Restricted working hours in busy streets or occupied sites
After installation
Any later utility work beside the line should be supervised so the frame is not undermined. Pay attention to the surface around the posts, because settlement or loose paving can indicate movement in the bearing layer.
For damaged or loose posts in Epsom, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Can shallow-mount bollards go on a car park deck?
Sometimes, if a structural engineer confirms the deck can take the impact loads and the waterproofing can be protected. Decks were not designed with vehicle attacks in mind, so this check comes before anything else. Some manufacturers offer details specifically for structures.
Can I install a single shallow-mount bollard on its own?
Usually not. Most shallow systems rely on several posts working together, and the rating applies to a tested run with a stated minimum number of posts. A single position generally needs a different solution.
