Before we dig in Rugby
The highway authority for local roads in Rugby is Warwickshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
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 (the council for Rugby) first — we flag this at survey.
Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath. Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
Installation, step by step
Receive a written price
We confirm the cost of the visit and the expected work in writing before anyone attends. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
Make safe if needed
Where a post is a hazard now, the first step can be to make it safe by removing or capping it, priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
Carry out the repair
The crew carries out the agreed work. If they find something different, such as a cracked slab under a base plate, they stop and we price the extra work in writing before continuing.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
What moves the price in Rugby
Two Rugby jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Making safe before the main repair
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
- Surface type and reinstatement
After installation
Keep a record of bollard types, suppliers, key numbers and colours on site, so a repair can be quoted and matched quickly when it is needed. Lubricating locks a few times a year, lifting removable and telescopic posts periodically, keeping cassettes clear of grit, touching up chipped paint and checking for lean after knocks will prevent many of them.
If posts in Rugby are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Can you repair a bollard we did not install?
Yes. We repair fixed, removable, telescopic, fold-down and other manual bollards whoever installed them. Photographs help us identify the type and find matching parts.
