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.
The detail
Ram-raid protection works by stopping the vehicle before it reaches the glass. The shutter box, guides and bottom rail are sized to the opening and fixed to sound structure.
Why SK Shopfronts
Multi-unit landlords, contractors and growing retailers use us because one contract covers the frontage, the security and the entrance. One programme, one point of contact, one set of O&M documents at handover.
Options and specification
- Removable or retractable options for access
- Stainless or powder-coated finishes
- Positioned clear of pedestrian routes
How much do bollards and barriers cost?
Guide price: from £680 plus VAT for a standard opening. Size, specification and strip-out decide the exact number. 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. On site, most your jobs take one or two days. Early starts and closed-day fitting are both possible.

Questions about bollards and barriers
Can you match the units either side?
On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.
What do you need from me to quote?
The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
How much does bollards and barriers cost near me?
Bollards and barriers start from around £680 plus VAT for a standard opening. The exact figure depends on the width, height, finish and access, and comes from a free site survey as a written, itemised quotation.
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.
