Forecourts and EV bays in Dunblane and Bridge of Allan take a beating from low-speed knocks. We install bollards rated to absorb that without snapping at the base, and we'll spec wrap-around buffers where a hard post would damage the vehicle.
Pick the wrong bollard and you either get one that bends on first impact or one that costs three times what the threat needs. We'll talk you through static, removable, telescopic and PAS 68 options with the trade-offs in plain English.

Dunblane and Bridge of Allan 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 install bollards in a conservation area in Dunblane and Bridge of Allan?
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'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.
Will you check for buried services before coring?
Always. We CAT scan, request drawings where available, and dig pilot holes before opening up. Hitting a service on a bollard install is avoidable.
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.
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.
