Cast-in ground socket with a drained sump, padlocked head, spare keys supplied. Right for forecourts and private parking that occasionally need access.
Gillingham Bollard Installation
From a single steel post outside a Gillingham corner shop to a full PAS 68 line across a public square, we handle the survey, the install and the aftercare. Quote first, work second, no surprises on invoice.
Bollard fitting in Gillingham, in plain English
Whether the job is on the High Street, Hempstead Valley and the Medway City Estate, we install across Gillingham and the rest of the ME postcodes, with the same survey, quote and install crew on every job.
Most Gillingham jobs we get asked about start the same way: a vehicle has hit a shopfront, or a private car park is being misused. Static steel posts solve the first; removable bollards or rising ones solve the second. We'll quote both if it isn't obvious which is right.
For automatic bollards in Gillingham 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.
For high-street retail in Gillingham, planning consent and shopfront aesthetics matter. We install stainless steel, painted steel and bell bollards; we can also wrap or sleeve existing posts to match a brand colour.
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.

Frequently asked questions about bollards in Gillingham
Can the install be done out of hours?
Yes, where access permits. Most retail and forecourt installs in Gillingham can be done in a single day, but evening or early-morning slots are an option if shutting in trading hours isn't.
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.
Do you take on small jobs — one or two posts?
Yes. A single replacement post on a damaged shopfront in Gillingham is a normal job for us, not a "minimum order" that gets pushed away. Quote the same way as a bigger scheme.
Do you maintain automatic bollards too?
Yes. Hydraulic and electromechanical bollards need annual servicing to stay reliable. We service systems we install and systems put in by other contractors.
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.
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.
