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.
Agree pattern and approvals
We source a matching pattern or close equivalent and, where needed, provide details for the conservation officer or planning authority before ordering.
Lift paving carefully
Natural stone flags, setts and kerbs are lifted by hand, numbered where needed and stored for relaying.
Relay and finish
Stone is relaid in its original pattern with suitable mortar, and the bollard is painted or touched up after fixing.
