Factors Affecting Cost

1. Material Quality

Stainless steel costs more upfront but never needs repainting and lasts 25+ years. Basic painted steel is cheaper initially but requires maintenance.

2. Ground Conditions

Concrete or tarmac driveways are straightforward. Block paving or difficult ground may add £50-100 per bollard due to extra labour.

3. Number of Bollards

Installing multiple bollards reduces the per-unit cost. Many Merseyside driveways need 2-3 bollards for effective protection.

4. Location Access

Difficult access or restricted working hours (busy city centre locations) may increase installation costs by 10-20%.
