PAS 68 / IWA 14 hostile vehicle mitigation in Wickford
Crash-rated bollards installed to the test certificate's foundation spec. For public realm, government and event protection.
Bollard Fitting in Wickford
If your Wickford site needs bollards — to stop ram-raids, to control out-of-hours access, to protect a column or a gas meter — we install the right post for that specific threat. The brief drives the spec, not the other way around.
About our Wickford installs
We install bollards across Wickford, Essex and the surrounding SS postcodes. From the High Street and the Castle Mayne industrial estate, the brief changes site by site and we quote each one on its own merits.
Hotels, restaurants and venues in Wickford 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 local authority work in Wickford — public realm, town centres, parks — we install to the council's specification or supply our own with the test data. Most jobs run under a permit and we'll handle the application as part of the package.
Where the threat is hostile vehicle attack — public realm, government sites, event spaces in Wickford — we install crash-rated PAS 68 / IWA 14 bollards to the foundation depths the test certificate requires. Anything less and the rating doesn't apply.
For automatic and rising bollards we handle the civils, the ducting, the control panel siting and the commissioning. If you've already had a survey or specifier involved, we install to their drawings.

How we install bollards on the ground in Wickford
For paved or block-paver Wickford sites we lift, cut, core and reinstate the pavers around the post so the finished area looks intact rather than patched.
On tarmac in Wickford we cut a clean square around the core, install, then patch with hot or cold-lay depending on the area and the temperature on the day.

Wickford bollard installation — common questions
Can you replace damaged bollards in Wickford 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 handle planning or permits in Wickford?
On highway-adjacent or council-owned land in Wickford, yes — we'll apply for the permit and price it into the quote. On private land it's usually not needed.
How quickly can you install bollards in Wickford?
Lead time depends on the bollard spec, but most fixed and removable installs in Wickford are booked within a couple of weeks of a signed quote. Automatic and crash-rated jobs need longer for the units to come in.
Can you install crash-rated PAS 68 bollards in Wickford?
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.
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'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.
