What we check first in Wellington
In Wellington, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Telford and Wrekin Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Wellington is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Telford and Wrekin Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement matches the surface, whether tarmac, block paving, flags or turf. Root-fixed posts need firm ground and enough depth to carry the post's root plus a concrete surround.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians, wheelchair users or buggies pass between posts.
- Avoid linking posts with chains across pedestrian routes, which can be a trip hazard for blind and partially sighted people.
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.
Fill and cap
Where specified, posts are filled with concrete and capped so water cannot collect inside the tube.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Caps and heads | Dome, flat, chamfered or ball tops, with welded caps to keep water out of hollow posts. |
| Concrete infill | Adds mass and stiffness and makes the post harder to cut or dent. Usually specified for security and impact positions. |
| Finishes | Hot-dip galvanised, then powder-coated in a RAL colour if wanted. Black, grey, yellow and green are common. |
Pricing steel security bollards in Wellington
Two Wellington jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Surface reinstatement such as block paving or tarmac
- Finish: galvanised only or powder-coated
- Tube diameter, wall thickness and concrete infill
After installation
Check periodically for impact damage, loose base plates and cracked surfacing around the root. Powder coat chipped by vehicles should be touched up before the galvanising underneath starts to weather.
If posts in Wellington are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Steel security bollards in Wellington: FAQs
Do you install steel security bollards in Wellington?
We cover all of Wellington (TF6) and the rest of Shropshire. We also work in Telford, Shrewsbury and Stafford.
Do I need consent for steel security bollards on a public footway in Wellington?
Telford and Wrekin Council is the highway authority covering Wellington's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
What's a typical price for steel security bollards in Wellington?
In Wellington, typically £195–£895 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£225–£1,045 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £595 plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
