Rules for steel security bollards in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. 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.
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.
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.
Steel security bollards in Dundee City: FAQs
Do you cover all of Dundee City for steel security bollards?
Yes — including Dundee. Enter your postcode in the price calculator to confirm.
How much do steel security bollards cost in Dundee City?
In Dundee City, typically £195–£895 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£225–£1,045 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £595 plus VAT, using our Scotland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Dundee City?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Dundee City Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
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.
What diameter of steel bollard do I need?
Match it to the job. Around 114 mm suits car park walkways and verges; 168 or 219 mm with a heavier wall suits service yards and corners that lorries pass. The survey looks at what is likely to hit the posts.
