Before we dig in Lytham St Annes
The highway authority for local roads in Lytham St Annes is Lancashire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Steel security bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Lytham St Annes is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Fylde) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Reinstatement matches the surface, whether tarmac, block paving, flags or turf.
- Fit contrasting or reflective bands near the top so posts are visible, as Inclusive Mobility guidance recommends.
- Do not describe unrated posts as anti-ram or HVM protection in risk assessments or to insurers.
From survey to handover
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tube size and wall thickness | Common diameters include 76, 114, 140, 168 and 219 mm, with heavier walls for service yards and vehicle routes. |
| Root-fixed | Cast into a concrete foundation, typically with several hundred millimetres of post below ground. The usual choice where digging is possible. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective or contrasting bands near the top for drivers at night and for partially sighted pedestrians. |
Pricing steel security bollards in Lytham St Annes

- Surface reinstatement such as block paving or tarmac
- Number of posts and length of the line
Keeping them working

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.
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.
