Stainless steel bollards suit plenty of Egham sites, filling-station forecourts, community car parks and high street shopfronts among them. A stainless bollard cover is a sleeve that slides over an existing or new steel core, changing its look without replacing the structural post.
We work across TW20, GU25, KT16 and KT15 — Egham itself and places including Bishopsgate, Stroude, Virginia Water and Trumps Green. Jobs in Egham can be combined with work in Staines (2 miles), Ashford, Surrey (4.1 miles), Windsor (4.1 miles) and Slough (5.7 miles) (straight-line distances). Reading is around 18 miles away.

What we check first in Egham
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Egham's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Egham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Runnymede) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Paving around new posts is cut before the posts arrive, or the posts are protected while it happens. 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.
- On crash-rated bollards, confirm with the manufacturer that the cover is approved for the tested product.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm on pedestrian routes, in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance.
Installation, step by step
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 |
|---|---|
| Covers for rated bollards | Manufacturer-supplied or approved covers for crash-tested cores so the security rating is not compromised. |
| Heads and details | Domed, flat, angled or ball tops, grooved bands, engraved logos and inset reflective strips. |
| Brushed or polished finish | Satin brushed finishes hide fingerprints and light scratches; mirror polish is striking but shows every mark. |
What moves the price in Egham

Looking after them
Wash it periodically with water and a mild detergent, more often near the coast or busy roads, and rinse off road salt after winter. Stainless steel is low maintenance, not no maintenance.

Do I need consent for stainless steel bollards on a public footway in Egham?
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Egham's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
What's a typical price for stainless steel bollards in Egham?
In Egham, typically £345–£1,395 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£405–£1,645 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £795 plus VAT, using our London guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Are stainless bollards stronger than steel ones?
Not necessarily. Stainless tube is often thinner-walled, so strength depends on wall thickness, infill and fixing. Many stainless posts get their strength from a concrete fill or a steel core inside.
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.
