Bollards and Parking Posts for Commercial Sites
Car parks, flats, yards, shop fronts and shared parking across Hampshire, Berkshire and the Surrey border. We survey your site, measure it out and talk you through the options before we quote.
- Stop unauthorised parking in allocated bays
- Secure vans, plant and vehicles overnight
- Protect buildings, charge points and walkways from vehicles
- Control who can get in and out
Every commercial job starts with a site survey.
No two commercial sites are the same
A home drive can be priced from a photo. A car park, a yard or a block of flats can't. Sites are bigger, surfaces vary, and how people and vehicles move around them matters.
So we come out, walk the site with you and measure it properly. Then we sit down with you and go through what would work, what wouldn't, and why. You get a written quote for the option you choose.
What we look at
- Where vehicles enter, park, turn and leave
- Where people walk, and what needs protecting
- The ground: tarmac, concrete, block paving or gravel
- Who needs keys, and how often posts are used
- Emergency and delivery access
- Buried services, checked before we dig
Sites we protect
If vehicles park, deliver, charge or pass close to people or buildings, there's usually a post that helps.

Questions businesses ask us
Can you price a commercial job from photos?
No. Commercial sites vary too much for photos to do them justice, so we always survey and measure out first. Photos still help us plan the visit.
What happens at the survey?
We walk the site with you, look at the surfaces, access and how vehicles and people move around it, and measure where posts would go. Then we talk you through the options and confirm a price in writing.
Can several posts work on one key?
It depends on the post. Ask us at the survey and we'll tell you the keying options for the posts you're considering.
Do you fit automatic bollards?
No. We fit manual bollards and parking posts only.
Do we need planning permission?
Not usually for posts on private land. Listed buildings, conservation areas and anything near the public highway can be different, and we'll flag it at the survey.
Do you charge VAT?
No. We're not VAT registered, so there's no VAT on our invoice.
Are you insured?
Yes. We're fully insured, with £5 million public liability cover.
