Bollard fitting in Birmingham, in plain English
Whether the job is on the Bullring, the Jewellery Quarter and the Aston industrial estates, we install across Birmingham and the rest of the B postcodes, with the same survey, quote and install crew on every job.
For automatic bollards in Birmingham we wire in loop detectors, fobs, intercoms or ANPR depending on how the site needs to manage access. We service them too, so you've got someone to call when a unit stops cycling.
Insurance-driven installs in Birmingham usually need a written spec the insurer will accept. We give you a quote that lines up with what the underwriter wants to see, not just what looks fine on the day.
For depot gates and yards in Birmingham we install fold-down and removable posts that let HGVs in without needing a bollard out of the ground every shift. Heavier-duty than retail kit and specced for the wear.
We'll tell you when bollards aren't the answer. Sometimes a kerb, a planter or a height restrictor does the job for less. We'd rather say so up front than sell you posts you don't need.

Birmingham install detail — depths, finishes, spacing
Foundation depth on a standard 168mm steel post in Birmingham is typically 600–750mm into a freshly cored hole, set in a fast-curing structural mix. Crash-rated foundations are deeper and follow the test drawings exactly.
For paved or block-paver Birmingham sites we lift, cut, core and reinstate the pavers around the post so the finished area looks intact rather than patched.

Frequently asked questions about bollards in Birmingham
Do you take on small jobs — one or two posts?
Yes. A single replacement post on a damaged shopfront in Birmingham is a normal job for us, not a "minimum order" that gets pushed away. Quote the same way as a bigger scheme.
Can you replace damaged bollards in Birmingham 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.
What if my insurer needs a specific bollard spec?
Send their requirement with the brief. We'll price a quote that matches the spec they want to see, with documentation you can pass back to them.
What's included in the price?
Bollard, fixings, coring, structural set, surface reinstatement, traffic management if needed, and removal of waste. Quotes are itemised so it's clear what's covered.
Can you install crash-rated PAS 68 bollards in Birmingham?
Yes. PAS 68 / IWA 14 schemes have to be installed to the foundation depths in the test certificate, which usually means deeper cores and different fixings. We've installed plenty.
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.
