Consents, ground and services in Egham
The highway authority for local roads in Egham is Surrey 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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Runnymede) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Avoid linking posts with chains across pedestrian routes, which can be a trip hazard for blind and partially sighted people.
- Check whether the land is public highway or adopted verge before installing; the highway authority's agreement is usually needed.
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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. |
What moves the price in Egham
Two Egham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Tube diameter, wall thickness and concrete infill
- Ground conditions and buried services
- Surface reinstatement such as block paving or tarmac
After installation
Powder coat chipped by vehicles should be touched up before the galvanising underneath starts to weather. A post that leans after a knock usually means the foundation has moved or cracked; it should be re-bedded or replaced rather than left as a trip or snag hazard.
If posts in Egham are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Egham?
The highway authority for local roads in Egham is Surrey 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.
How much do steel security bollards cost in Egham?

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.
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.
