Before we dig in Dungannon
In Dungannon, as everywhere in Northern Ireland, public roads and footways are looked after by DfI Roads rather than the council. If a post would sit on adopted footway, that consent comes first; private forecourts and car parks are a matter for the owner.
Planning in Northern Ireland sits with the councils, so for a listed building or conservation area in Dungannon the planning team at Mid Ulster District Council is the one to ask 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.
- Fit contrasting or reflective bands near the top so posts are visible, as Inclusive Mobility guidance recommends.
- Avoid linking posts with chains across pedestrian routes, which can be a trip hazard for blind and partially sighted people.
From survey to handover
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Root-fixed | Cast into a concrete foundation, typically with several hundred millimetres of post below ground. The usual choice where digging is possible. |
| Caps and heads | Dome, flat, chamfered or ball tops, with welded caps to keep water out of hollow posts. |
| Tube size and wall thickness | Common diameters include 76, 114, 140, 168 and 219 mm, with heavier walls for service yards and vehicle routes. |

Steel security bollards in Dungannon: FAQs
Do you install steel security bollards in Dungannon?

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Dungannon?
Across Northern Ireland the Department for Infrastructure's DfI Roads is the roads authority, so steel security bollards on a public footway or road in Dungannon need its agreement before anything is dug. Posts on your own land do not.
What's a typical price for steel security bollards in Dungannon?
In Dungannon, typically £195–£875 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£225–£1,045 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our Northern Ireland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
