Bollard fitting in Herne Bay, in plain English
Herne Bay sits in Kent, and we cover the town and the wider CT-area catchment. Typical Herne Bay sites include Mortimer Street, the seafront and the surrounding small-business parades.
Hotels, restaurants and venues in Herne Bay often want bollards that don't look like bollards: bell-shaped iron, painted to a brand colour, or stainless with a brushed finish. We install all of those without bending the foundation spec to make them fit.
For automatic bollards in Herne Bay 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 depot gates and yards in Herne Bay 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.
Foundations matter more than the bollard itself. We core to the diameter and depth the manufacturer specifies, set in the right grout or concrete mix and reinstate the surface to match — tarmac, concrete, block paving or resin.

Things people ask before a Herne Bay bollard install
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 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 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.
How do I get a quote for Herne Bay?
Use the quote form on this page with the Herne Bay 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 Herne Bay can be done in a single day, but evening or early-morning slots are an option if shutting in trading hours isn't.
Can you do automatic bollards with intercom or ANPR?
Yes. We wire in loops, fobs, intercoms or ANPR cameras depending on how the site needs to manage access, and commission the system end-to-end.
