Rules for cast iron bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Record what is there
The free site survey records existing bollards, their pattern, spacing, height and condition, and the paving they sit in. You receive a fixed written quote covering new castings, resets and reinstatement.
Lift paving carefully
Natural stone flags, setts and kerbs are lifted by hand, numbered where needed and stored for relaying.
Set the post
Each bollard is set plumb in concrete with its root, flange or core, at a height that matches its neighbours. Original posts being reset are cleaned and checked for cracks first.
Relay and finish
Stone is relaid in its original pattern with suitable mortar, and the bollard is painted or touched up after fixing.

Grey cast iron or ductile iron for new heritage bollards?
Ductile iron for any position that vehicles might strike, because it bends rather than shatters. Grey cast iron suits low-risk positions or matching existing grey iron posts exactly. Both take the same traditional patterns.
Do we need consent for bollards in a conservation area?
Possibly. Consent requirements depend on where the bollards go, who installs them and whether nearby buildings are listed. Ask the local planning authority or conservation officer before ordering.
