Q: Are telescopic bollards insurance-approved?

Yes. Many telescopic bollards are insurance-approved when they meet UK security and impact standards such as Sold Secure Gold or Secured by Design. Insurance-rated bollards use anti-drill locks, reinforced lift sleeves, and heavy-duty galvanised steel for maximum strength. Installing approved bollards can reduce vehicle theft risk and may lower insurance premiums. Aremco Barriers supplies UK-made telescopic bollards built from galvanised and powder-coated steel with high-security locking systems that comply with insurer-recognised standards for reliable driveway and vehicle protection.

Are telescopic bollards insurance-approved?

Yes — many telescopic bollards are insurance-approved, provided they meet recognised UK security and impact-resistance standards. Installing approved bollards can significantly reduce the risk of vehicle theft and may even help lower insurance premiums.

To qualify as insurance-approved, a telescopic bollard should meet one or more of the following criteria:

Sold Secure Certification – The bollard must be tested and approved by Sold Secure, an independent UK testing body recognised by major insurers. Sold Secure Gold or Diamond-rated bollards offer the highest level of protection.
Secured by Design (SBD) – Products carrying the Secured by Design Police Preferred Specification mark have been independently assessed for crime prevention and durability.
High-Security Locking Mechanisms – Look for integral stainless-steel locks, anti-drill cylinders, and reinforced lift sleeves for added resistance to tampering.
Construction & Finish – Heavy-duty galvanised and powder-coated steel ensures long-term corrosion protection and impact strength.
