Before we dig in Chesham
The highway authority for local roads in Chesham is Buckinghamshire Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Stainless steel 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 Chesham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Buckinghamshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
The difference is in handling. Paving around new posts is cut before the posts arrive, or the posts are protected while it happens.
- Add a contrasting band near the top, because bare stainless can blend into pale paving for partially sighted people.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm on pedestrian routes, in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance.
What happens on site
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.
Install new posts
New solid stainless posts are set in concrete, bolted down or fitted into sockets, with care taken not to scratch the finish or contaminate it with carbon steel tools.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Contrasting bands | Dark or reflective bands so posts stand out against pale paving, which bare stainless often does not. |
| Solid stainless posts | Root-fixed, base-plated or removable posts, often concrete-filled or with a steel insert for strength. |
| Sleeve covers | Stainless sleeves over existing or new steel cores, sized to the core diameter, to refresh or upgrade appearance. |
