Unrated steel bollards have not been crash-tested, so they deter vehicles and stop low-speed knocks and casual misuse rather than a determined attack.

Before we dig in Tyldesley
In Tyldesley, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Wigan Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Tyldesley need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Wigan Council before posts go in.
Base plates must sit on a slab thick and sound enough to hold resin anchors; cracked or thin concrete will let the anchors pull out on the first knock. 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.
- Check whether the land is public highway or adopted verge before installing; the highway authority's agreement is usually needed.
- Fit contrasting or reflective bands near the top so posts are visible, as Inclusive Mobility guidance recommends.
Installation, step by step
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Finishes | Hot-dip galvanised, then powder-coated in a RAL colour if wanted. Black, grey, yellow and green are common. |
| Base-plated | Bolted to a sound concrete slab with resin anchors. Quick to fit and easy to remove later, suited to light-duty and indoor use. |
| Tube size and wall thickness | Common diameters include 76, 114, 140, 168 and 219 mm, with heavier walls for service yards and vehicle routes. |
What moves the price in Tyldesley
Two Tyldesley jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Finish: galvanised only or powder-coated
- Surface reinstatement such as block paving or tarmac
- Ground conditions and buried services
Keeping them working
Check periodically for impact damage, loose base plates and cracked surfacing around the root. Reflective bands fade and peel and are easy to renew.
If posts in Tyldesley are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do I need consent for steel security bollards on a public footway in Tyldesley?

Are unrated steel bollards anti-ram?
No. They have not been crash-tested, so their performance against a deliberate vehicle attack is unknown. They are suited to nuisance parking and low-speed knocks; tested products are needed where an attack is the concern.
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.
