About our Brighton and Hove installs
Whether the job is on the Lanes, Western Road and the seafront commercial frontage, we install across Brighton and Hove and the rest of the BN postcodes, with the same survey, quote and install crew on every job.
Industrial and logistics sites in Brighton and Hove 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.
For depot gates and yards in Brighton and Hove 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.
Insurance-driven installs in Brighton and Hove 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 removable bollards we install a properly cast ground socket with a drain so it doesn't silt up, supply spare keys and label them — small things that matter once the bollard is in daily use.

Brighton and Hove install detail — depths, finishes, spacing
Foundation depth on a standard 168mm steel post in Brighton and Hove 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.
Spacing between bollards in Brighton and Hove is typically 1.2m centre-to-centre for pedestrian-permeable lines, tighter where the brief is to stop a small vehicle from passing through.

Frequently asked questions about bollards in Brighton and Hove
What type of bollard is right for my Brighton and Hove site?
It depends on what you're stopping (a wandering shopper, a misparked van, a hostile vehicle) and whether you ever need to let vehicles through. Send the site details and we'll recommend a spec rather than guess.
How do I get a quote for Brighton and Hove?
Use the quote form on this page with the Brighton and Hove site postcode and a short brief. We'll come back in writing with a quote and the recommended bollard spec.
Can the install be done out of hours?
Yes, where access permits. Most retail and forecourt installs in Brighton and Hove can be done in a single day, but evening or early-morning slots are an option if shutting in trading hours isn't.
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.
Do you install on tarmac, concrete and block paving?
Yes. We core to the right diameter for the surface, use the correct grout or concrete mix and reinstate so the area looks finished, not patched.
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.
