Shutters & security
Bollards and barriers
In short, bollards and barriers are anti-ram protection in front of glazed frontages. Every job starts with a survey so the work is made to your opening, not a guess.
What you get
Ram-raid protection works by stopping the vehicle before it reaches the glass. Insurers often specify a lock type or rating, so we confirm their wording before ordering.
Working with us
We start from how the premises will be secured when it is closed, then design the frontage around it. That way the shutter, the door hardware and any bollards all work as one plan rather than a patchwork.
Options and specification
- Static bollards set in concrete foundations
- Removable or retractable options for access
- Stainless or powder-coated finishes
How much do bollards and barriers cost?
Bollards and barriers start at around £680 plus VAT. The real figure comes from the survey measurements. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
How long does it take?
Expect 2-3 weeks after survey for manufacture. Fitting a standard your unit is normally one to two days on site. Early starts and closed-day fitting are both possible.

Questions about bollards and barriers
Do I need planning permission near me?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not. Changing the appearance of the frontage, fitting an external roller shutter or adding an illuminated sign usually needs consent from your local council. We tell you which applies at survey.
How long does it take?
Lead time for bollards and barriers is typically 2-3 weeks after survey. Installation itself is usually one to two days on site for a standard unit.
Can you work outside trading hours?
Yes, work can be arranged for a closed day or outside trading hours where the business cannot close. We agree it with you when booking.
Is the survey free?
Yes. The survey is free and carries no obligation to go ahead.
