What we check first in Craigavon
Kerbside work in Craigavon is a DfI Roads question: the Department for Infrastructure is the roads authority for Northern Ireland, and its permission is needed for anything placed in the public road or footway.
If your site in Craigavon is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Verges are often softer than they look, and the edges of car parks may be thin tarmac over hardcore, so the foundation is sized to the ground found. Root-fixed posts need firm ground and enough depth to carry the post's root plus a concrete surround.
- Avoid linking posts with chains across pedestrian routes, which can be a trip hazard for blind and partially sighted people.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians, wheelchair users or buggies pass between posts.
From survey to handover
Survey and set out
A free site survey confirms positions, surfaces, buried services and whether root-fixing or base plates suit the ground. You receive a fixed written quote listing post size, finish and fixing.
Fill and cap
Where specified, posts are filled with concrete and capped so water cannot collect inside the tube.
Reinstate and finish
The surface around each post is made good to match, and reflective bands are fitted. Damaged galvanising from handling is touched up.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Caps and heads | Dome, flat, chamfered or ball tops, with welded caps to keep water out of hollow posts. |
| Concrete infill | Adds mass and stiffness and makes the post harder to cut or dent. Usually specified for security and impact positions. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective or contrasting bands near the top for drivers at night and for partially sighted pedestrians. |

Questions about steel security bollards in Craigavon
Do you install steel security bollards in Craigavon?
We cover all of Craigavon (BT64, BT65, BT66 and BT67) and the rest of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon. We also work in Portadown, Banbridge and Armagh.
Do I need consent for steel security bollards on a public footway in Craigavon?
In Craigavon, as everywhere in Northern Ireland, public roads and footways are looked after by DfI Roads rather than the council. If a post would sit on adopted footway, that consent comes first; private forecourts and car parks are a matter for the owner.
What's a typical price for steel security bollards in Craigavon?
In Craigavon, typically £195–£875 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£225–£1,045 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our Northern Ireland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Will galvanised posts rust?
Hot-dip galvanising protects steel for a long time in normal outdoor conditions. Powder coat over the galvanising adds colour and extra protection. Touch up chips promptly in coastal or heavily salted locations.
Can new posts match our existing ones?
Usually, if we can measure the existing diameter, height, cap and colour. Galvanised steel in standard sizes is easy to match; older or unusual sections may need a close equivalent.
