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.
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.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Glasgow City?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Glasgow City Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
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.
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.
