Consents, ground and services in Windsor
The highway authority for local roads in Windsor is Windsor and Maidenhead Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Steel security bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Windsor is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Windsor and Maidenhead Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement matches the surface, whether tarmac, block paving, flags or turf. Root-fixed posts need firm ground and enough depth to carry the post's root plus a concrete surround.
- Check whether the land is public highway or adopted verge before installing; the highway authority's agreement is usually needed.
- Avoid linking posts with chains across pedestrian routes, which can be a trip hazard for blind and partially sighted people.
How the job runs
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.
Set the posts
Posts are set plumb and to a consistent height along the line, and concreted in. Base-plated posts are drilled, anchored with resin and torqued once cured.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tube size and wall thickness | Common diameters include 76, 114, 140, 168 and 219 mm, with heavier walls for service yards and vehicle routes. |
| Finishes | Hot-dip galvanised, then powder-coated in a RAL colour if wanted. Black, grey, yellow and green are common. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective or contrasting bands near the top for drivers at night and for partially sighted pedestrians. |
What affects the quote
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Windsor firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Ground conditions and buried services
- Tube diameter, wall thickness and concrete infill
- Surface reinstatement such as block paving or tarmac
Keeping them working
A post that leans after a knock usually means the foundation has moved or cracked; it should be re-bedded or replaced rather than left as a trip or snag hazard. Check periodically for impact damage, loose base plates and cracked surfacing around the root.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Windsor.
Steel security bollards in Windsor: FAQs
Can you install steel security bollards anywhere in Windsor?

Do I need consent for steel security bollards on a public footway in Windsor?
The highway authority for local roads in Windsor is Windsor and Maidenhead Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Steel security bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
What's a typical price for steel security bollards in Windsor?
In Windsor, typically £205–£945 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£245–£1,145 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £625 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
Should I choose root-fixed or base-plated steel bollards?
Root-fixed where you can dig and want the stronger post; base-plated where there is a sound slab and you want quick installation or the option to remove posts later. Base plates are limited by the slab and anchors, so they are not the right choice where vehicles hit hard.
