About our Barnstaple installs
Bollard installation in Barnstaple usually means jobs across Devon (EX postcodes). Most of our Barnstaple work sits around the Pannier Market, Green Lanes centre and the Pottington industrial estate.
If a previous installer in Barnstaple got it wrong — bollards bending at the base, foundations failing, posts pulled clean out — we'll survey what's there and quote either a remediation or a full replacement, whichever is honest.
Where the threat is hostile vehicle attack — public realm, government sites, event spaces in Barnstaple — we install crash-rated PAS 68 / IWA 14 bollards to the foundation depths the test certificate requires. Anything less and the rating doesn't apply.
Industrial and logistics sites in Barnstaple usually want heavy-duty static posts protecting columns, racking ends, gas meters and pedestrian walkways. We'll quote on a per-post basis or as a package if you want the whole yard done in one visit.
Surface reinstatement is part of the price, not an extra. Whether it's blacktop, concrete, block paving or resin, we leave the area looking like the bollard was always meant to be there.

Barnstaple bollard FAQs
Do you guarantee the install?
The bollards carry the manufacturer warranty; the installation itself carries our workmanship guarantee. Both are written into the quote so it's clear before you sign.
Can you replace damaged bollards in Barnstaple like-for-like?
Yes — we'll match the original post type and finish where we can, repair the foundation if it's failed, and reinstate the surface so the repair doesn't stand out.
Can you install bollards in a conservation area in Barnstaple?
Yes — we install heritage-style cast-iron and bell bollards alongside modern steel. Where consent is needed, we'll line the spec up with what the planners will accept.
What spacing do you use between bollards?
For pedestrian-permeable lines we typically space at 1.2m centre-to-centre. Where the brief is to stop a vehicle squeezing through, spacing comes in tighter and the post diameter goes up.
Do you supply the bollards as well as install?
Usually yes. We can also install bollards you've already bought if they're a sensible spec for the site — we'll flag it before quoting if they aren't.
Do you take on small jobs — one or two posts?
Yes. A single replacement post on a damaged shopfront in Barnstaple is a normal job for us, not a "minimum order" that gets pushed away. Quote the same way as a bigger scheme.
