Rules for stainless steel bollards in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first.

How installation works
Survey and match
A free site survey records existing cores, diameters, heights and the setting, including any salt or coastal exposure that points to 316. You receive a fixed written quote covering grade, finish and fixing.
Prepare the cores
For covers, existing posts are checked for straightness, loose foundations and corrosion. Cores that lean or move are re-bedded first, because a cover will not hide a failing post for long.
Fit covers
Sleeves are slid over the cores, packed so they cannot rattle, and fixed with concealed fixings. A gap or drainage detail at the base stops water being trapped inside.
Clean and protect
Fingerprints, grinding dust and adhesive residue are cleaned off with suitable stainless cleaners, and the protective film is removed only when surrounding work is finished.
Stainless steel bollards in Aberdeenshire: FAQs

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Aberdeenshire?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Aberdeenshire Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
Can stainless covers go over our existing steel bollards?
Yes, if the existing posts are straight, firmly fixed and a size the covers can be made to fit. Leaning or loose posts are re-bedded first. It is often a quicker way to refresh a frontage than replacing every post.
Do stainless covers affect a crash rating?
They can if they are not part of the tested product. Use covers supplied or approved by the bollard manufacturer. We fit approved covers and leave the core and foundation exactly as installed.
