Rules for steel security bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first.

How installation works
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.
Break out and excavate
For root-fixed posts, the surface is cut neatly and each hole is dug to depth, by hand near known services. For base plates, the slab is checked for thickness and soundness.
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.

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.
Why fill a steel bollard with concrete?
Concrete infill adds weight and stiffness, so the post dents less and is harder to cut. It also stops water collecting inside a hollow tube. It is usual for security and impact positions.
