Romsey Bollard Fitters
We install bollards in Romsey for shops, car parks, depots, schools, offices and public sites. Most jobs are core-drilled into concrete or root-fixed; we'll tell you which is right after looking at the ground and the threat the bollard needs to stop.
What we install in Romsey
Romsey sits in Hampshire, and we cover the town and the wider SO-area catchment. Typical Romsey sites include the Bridge Street market town centre and the surrounding industrial units.
For depot gates and yards in Romsey 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.
For automatic bollards in Romsey 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.
Facilities teams in Romsey usually want a single point of contact for survey, install and servicing. That's how we run jobs by default. One quote, one crew, one warranty document — not a chain of subcontractors.
Site work is run to CDM. Risk assessment, method statement, segregation, banking the road if needed. Most installs in commercial settings are done in a day so you're not closed for longer than you have to be.

Practical install notes for Romsey
Spacing between bollards in Romsey is typically 1.2m centre-to-centre for pedestrian-permeable lines, tighter where the brief is to stop a small vehicle from passing through.
Automatic bollards in Romsey typically take a day for civils and a second day for wiring and commissioning. We schedule both visits up front so the site isn't half-finished between them.

Things people ask before a Romsey bollard install
Do you handle planning or permits in Romsey?
On highway-adjacent or council-owned land in Romsey, yes — we'll apply for the permit and price it into the quote. On private land it's usually not needed.
What type of bollard is right for my Romsey 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.
Can you install crash-rated PAS 68 bollards in Romsey?
Yes. PAS 68 / IWA 14 schemes have to be installed to the foundation depths in the test certificate, which usually means deeper cores and different fixings. We've installed plenty.
Do you supply the bollards as well as install?
Usually yes. We can also install bollards you've already bought if they're a sensible spec for the site — we'll flag it before quoting if they aren't.
How quickly can you install bollards in Romsey?
Lead time depends on the bollard spec, but most fixed and removable installs in Romsey are booked within a couple of weeks of a signed quote. Automatic and crash-rated jobs need longer for the units to come in.
How do I get a quote for Romsey?
