Consents, ground and services in Kenilworth
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority covering Kenilworth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Kenilworth need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Warwickshire County Council before posts go in.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
Installation, step by step
Survey and match
At the free site survey we measure the existing bollards, photograph the line and check the foundations. A fixed written quote sets out like-for-like and any upgrade options.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Kenilworth
Two Kenilworth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Making safe before the replacement
- Surface type and reinstatement
Looking after them
A single impact on a rarely struck post is bad luck; repeated strikes in the same spot point to a layout problem, such as a tight turn or a missing wheel stop, that a stronger bollard alone will not solve. Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands.
For damaged or loose posts in Kenilworth, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Common questions
Can you carry out replacement bollards anywhere in Kenilworth?
We cover all of Kenilworth (CV8) and the rest of Warwickshire. We also work in Warwick, Coventry and Solihull.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Kenilworth?
In Kenilworth, 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.
What's a typical price for replacement bollards in Kenilworth?
In Kenilworth, typically £215–£1,195 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£255–£1,445 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £445 plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Should we replace like-for-like or upgrade?
Like-for-like if the post was hit once in an unusual incident. Consider an upgrade if the same position is struck repeatedly or the post no longer suits how the site is used. The survey will show which makes sense.
Can you replace just one bollard in a line?
Yes. We measure and match the existing posts so the new one sits in line at the same height and finish. If the original product is no longer made, we show you a close equivalent first.
