Bollards are an effective safety and security solution used to protect buildings, pedestrians, and vehicles in both commercial and residential areas. At East London Metal Engineering Ltd., we fabricate and install high-quality metal bollards, steel bollards, and stainless steel bollards designed for strength, durability, and long-term protection across Greater London and surrounding areas.
What Are Bollards?
Bollards are strong vertical posts installed in the ground to control traffic, protect property, and improve public safety. They are commonly used outside shops, warehouses, restaurants, parking areas, and residential driveways.
Steel bollards help prevent vehicle damage to buildings while also guiding traffic and protecting pedestrians in busy areas.
Common places where bollards are installed include:
- Shopfronts and retail stores
- Commercial buildings
- Restaurants and cafés
- Parking areas
- Warehouses and loading bays
- Residential driveways
- Public walkways
Types of Bollards We Fabricate
At East London Metal Engineering Ltd., we fabricate different types of bollards depending on the project requirements.

Fixed bollards are permanently installed into the ground with concrete foundations. They provide strong protection for buildings and storefronts.
They are commonly used for:
- shopfront protection
- warehouse entrances
- building perimeter security
Removable Bollards
Removable bollards allow controlled vehicle access. They can be removed when needed and locked in place for security.
They are often used for:
- private parking areas
- restricted access roads

Stainless Steel Bollards
Stainless steel bollards are commonly used in modern commercial areas where appearance is important. They offer corrosion resistance and a clean, professional finish.
These are popular for:
- office buildings
- restaurants
- shopping centres
- pedestrian zones
