Telescopic bollard installation in Wandsworth
Drop-down post that sits flush in a sub-surface housing. Good where access patterns change daily and you don't want a bollard lying on the floor.
Bollard Installers in Wandsworth
We install bollards in Wandsworth 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.
Wandsworth bollards: how we work
Wandsworth sits in Greater London, and we cover the town and the wider SW-area catchment. Typical Wandsworth sites include Southside, the High Street and the riverside business estates.
If a previous installer in Wandsworth got it wrong — bollards bending at the base, foundations failing, posts pulled clean out — we'll survey what's there and quote either a remediation or a full replacement, whichever is honest.
For automatic bollards in Wandsworth 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.
Hotels, restaurants and venues in Wandsworth 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.
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.

Practical install notes for Wandsworth
Spacing between bollards in Wandsworth is typically 1.2m centre-to-centre for pedestrian-permeable lines, tighter where the brief is to stop a small vehicle from passing through.
For paved or block-paver Wandsworth sites we lift, cut, core and reinstate the pavers around the post so the finished area looks intact rather than patched.

Things people ask before a Wandsworth bollard install
Can you replace damaged bollards in Wandsworth 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.
Can the install be done out of hours?
Yes, where access permits. Most retail and forecourt installs in Wandsworth 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.
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 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.
Can you install bollards in a conservation area in Wandsworth?
Yes — we install heritage-style cast-iron and bell bollards alongside modern steel. Where consent is needed, we'll line the spec up with what the planners will accept.
