Consents, ground and services in Warwick
The highway authority for local roads in Warwick is Warwickshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Cast iron 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 (Warwickshire County Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Original stone flags and setts are reused wherever possible, because new stone rarely matches weathered material. Historic streets were built in layers: modern services sit over older drains, coal holes and sometimes vaults, and the paving may be natural stone on a lime or sand bed rather than concrete.
- Avoid chains between posts on pedestrian routes, which can trip blind and partially sighted people.
- On public highway, agree positions and specification with the highway authority.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Steel cores and covers | Cast covers over root-fixed steel or crash-tested cores for strength without changing the look. |
| Traditional patterns | Cannon, fluted Doric, ball-top, Victorian and Georgian styles, and crest panels for estates or boroughs. |
| Ductile iron | Same patterns with much greater toughness; bends before it breaks. The usual choice for new posts on trafficked streets. |
What affects the quote
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Warwick firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Steel cores, concrete fill or tested cores beneath covers
- Pattern complexity and whether a special casting is needed
- Lifting and relaying natural stone paving
Looking after them
Cast iron lasts well if its paint is kept intact. Keep a record of patterns and suppliers so that future replacements match; some patterns are made in small runs and can take time to source.
For damaged or loose posts in Warwick, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

On their own, untested cast bollards cannot be relied on for security. Where protection is needed, heritage covers designed for crash-tested cores give the traditional look over a tested product.
