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.
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.

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.
Can you match the old bollards on our street?
Often, yes. Many traditional patterns are still cast, and close equivalents exist for others. For rare patterns, a casting can sometimes be made from an existing post, though that takes longer.
