Before we dig in Ashford, Surrey
In Ashford, Surrey, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Ashford, Surrey is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Spelthorne) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
For solid stainless posts the foundation work is the same as for steel: dig to depth, check for services, set in concrete and reinstate. Where covers go over existing posts, there is usually no excavation at all, but the base of the old post often sits in broken surfacing that is worth making good at the same time so the cover finishes neatly against a clean edge.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm on pedestrian routes, in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- On crash-rated bollards, confirm with the manufacturer that the cover is approved for the tested product.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Brushed or polished finish | Satin brushed finishes hide fingerprints and light scratches; mirror polish is striking but shows every mark. |
| Solid stainless posts | Root-fixed, base-plated or removable posts, often concrete-filled or with a steel insert for strength. |
| Grade 304 or 316 | 304 for most inland locations; 316 near the coast, swimming pools, or roads and car parks salted heavily in winter. |

Do I need consent for stainless steel bollards on a public footway in Ashford, Surrey?

How much do stainless steel bollards cost in Ashford, Surrey?

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.
