Rules for concrete 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
Excavate and cast foundations
Small foundations are excavated, checked for services and cast with a dowel hole or sleeve at the right position and level.
Set the bollards
Each bollard is lowered onto a mortar bed with its dowel grouted in, checked plumb and aligned with its neighbours.
Reinstate and clean
Paving is made good around each base and the bollards are cleaned of mortar and handling marks.
Protect while the grout cures
Bollards are left undisturbed until the grout and foundation have gained strength, with temporary barriers if vehicles use the area. Lines that need to open to traffic quickly can use faster-setting grouts where the product allows.
Concrete bollards in Bristol: FAQs
Do you cover all of Bristol for concrete bollards?

How much do concrete bollards cost in Bristol?
In Bristol, typically £175–£595 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £595 plus VAT, using our South West guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Bristol?
For local roads, Bristol City Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Can concrete bollards be moved later?
Yes, though it takes lifting equipment. Dowel-fixed bollards can be lifted off once the grout is broken out, and the foundation removed or reused. Plan for it if you think the layout may change.
Are concrete bollards anti-ram?
Only if that specific product has been crash-tested. Weight alone does not make a bollard crash-rated, and an untested concrete post can crack or shear when hit hard. Tested concrete-clad products exist for security use.
