Consents, ground and services in Banstead
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Banstead's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Reigate and Banstead) first — we flag this at survey.
Stainless can be stained by iron particles from cutting discs, drills and steel tools used nearby, and those particles rust on the surface within days. 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.
From survey to handover
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Contrasting bands | Dark or reflective bands so posts stand out against pale paving, which bare stainless often does not. |
| Sleeve covers | Stainless sleeves over existing or new steel cores, sized to the core diameter, to refresh or upgrade appearance. |
| Solid stainless posts | Root-fixed, base-plated or removable posts, often concrete-filled or with a steel insert for strength. |
What moves the price in Banstead
Two Banstead jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Condition of existing cores and any re-bedding needed
- Diameter and height, and any custom heads or engraving
- Grade 304 or 316 and the surface finish
Looking after them
Avoid wire wool and steel brushes, which leave particles that rust. Check covers for loose fixings and rattles, and look at the base for trapped water or rust from an old core underneath.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Banstead.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Banstead?
In Banstead, 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.

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.
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.
