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.
Fill and cap
Where specified, posts are filled with concrete and capped so water cannot collect inside the tube.
Steel security bollards in Hertfordshire: FAQs
Do you cover all of Hertfordshire for steel security bollards?

How much do steel security bollards cost in Hertfordshire?

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Hertfordshire?
For local roads, Hertfordshire County Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
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.
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.
