Bollard fitting in Maidstone, in plain English
Whether the job is on Fremlin Walk, the Mall and the Parkwood industrial estate, we install across Maidstone and the rest of the ME postcodes, with the same survey, quote and install crew on every job.
For high-street retail in Maidstone, 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.
Industrial and logistics sites in Maidstone 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.
Forecourts and EV bays in Maidstone 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.
The bollards themselves come from manufacturers we've installed for years — predictable steel grade, predictable fixings, parts available years later. That's worth more than a few quid saved on a no-name post.

Maidstone install detail — depths, finishes, spacing
Foundation depth on a standard 168mm steel post in Maidstone 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.
Reflective banding, hi-vis tops and yellow caps are options on most static posts in Maidstone — useful where vehicles approach the bollard line at low speed in poor light.

Frequently asked questions about bollards in Maidstone
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.
How do I get a quote for Maidstone?
Use the quote form on this page with the Maidstone site postcode and a short brief. We'll come back in writing with a quote and the recommended bollard spec.
Can you replace damaged bollards in Maidstone 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.
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.
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.
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.
