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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
