Bollard Installation Specialists, Telford
From a single steel post outside a Telford 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.
What we install in Telford
Whether the job is on Telford Centre, Stafford Park and the Halesfield industrial estates, we install across Telford and the rest of the TF postcodes, with the same survey, quote and install crew on every job.
On hospital, clinic and care-home sites in Telford we install bollards around ambulance bays, pedestrian crossings and entrances. The brief is usually about keeping the route clear without making it harder for genuine traffic.
Hotels, restaurants and venues in Telford 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.
Most Telford 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.
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.

Telford install detail — depths, finishes, spacing
Reflective banding, hi-vis tops and yellow caps are options on most static posts in Telford — useful where vehicles approach the bollard line at low speed in poor light.
For paved or block-paver Telford sites we lift, cut, core and reinstate the pavers around the post so the finished area looks intact rather than patched.
Our Telford install process
- 1. You send the site postcode and a short brief through the quote form.
- 2. We confirm whether a site visit is needed; for most Telford jobs it is.
- 3. You receive a written quote with the bollard spec, fixings, foundations and reinstatement listed.
- 4. Once you sign it off, we book a date and turn up with the materials.
- 5. On site: set out, core, fix, set, reinstate, photograph, leave clean.
Frequently asked questions about bollards in Telford
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.
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.
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 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.
Can you install crash-rated PAS 68 bollards in Telford?
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.
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.
