Rules for stainless steel bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. 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.
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.
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.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Hampshire?
For local roads, Hampshire County Council, Portsmouth City Council and Southampton City Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Why has our stainless steel gone brown?
Usually because of tea staining from chlorides, a grade unsuited to the location, a coarse finish that holds dirt, or iron contamination from nearby cutting. Most of it cleans off. If it keeps returning, the grade or finish may be wrong for the site.
How should stainless bollards be cleaned?
With water and mild detergent, then rinsed and dried, more often in coastal or salty conditions. Use stainless cleaners and non-scratch pads for marks. Never use wire wool or steel brushes.
