What we check first in Warwick
In Warwick, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Warwickshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Warwickshire County Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Foundations are rarely the size anyone expects. Where the area is being resurfaced anyway, removal is timed to happen first so the patching disappears under the new surface.
- Check whether the bollards were required by a planning condition, lease, security plan or the highway authority before removing them.
- In conservation areas, check before removing historic bollards, as consent may be needed or retention expected.
Installation, step by step
Check consents and reasons
Before removal, check whether the bollards were required by a planning condition, a lease, a security plan or the highway authority, and whether they protect something such as a meter or a building corner.
Make supplies safe
For automatic and lighting bollards, a qualified electrician isolates and disconnects the supply, and hydraulic units are drained.
Remove posts and foundations
Posts are cut off or extracted, foundations broken out where agreed, and sockets, cassettes and ducts removed or capped.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Lighting bollard removal | Supply made dead and cables terminated or removed by a qualified electrician before posts are lifted. |
| Automatic bollard decommissioning | Electrical isolation, hydraulic drain-down, cassette removal and capping of ducts. |
| Full extraction | Post and foundation broken out, leaving clear ground for resurfacing or new works. |
What moves the price in Warwick
When we price bollard removal jobs in Warwick, these make the biggest difference:
- Cutting off or full foundation extraction
- Access, working hours and waste disposal
- Surface type and reinstatement
Keeping them working
After removal, keep an eye on reinstated areas for settlement over the following months, particularly where large foundations were broken out. If foundations were left in place, record their positions on site drawings so future contractors are not surprised by buried concrete.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Warwick.

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Warwick?
