Computer-generated imageAbout concrete bollards in Beverley
From community car parks, small industrial units and community buildings, Beverley has plenty of places where concrete bollards earn their keep. Finishes range from plain grey concrete to exposed aggregate and stone-effect surfaces that suit civic and landscaped settings.
We work across HU17, HU16 and HU20 — Beverley itself and places including Walkington, Leconfield, Woodmansey and Tickton. Jobs in Beverley can be combined with work in Hull (7.9 miles), Bridlington (18.9 miles) and Goole (21 miles) (straight-line distances). Beverley is about 8 miles from Hull.

Before we dig in Beverley
The highway authority for local roads in Beverley is East Riding of Yorkshire Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Concrete bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Many private-land installations in Beverley need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at East Riding of Yorkshire Council before posts go in.
Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close. Access for the lifting vehicle matters: soft grass, paving and kerbs can be damaged by an outrigger, so ground protection mats are often laid before lifting begins.
- Use contrasting colours or bands so grey bollards stand out against grey paving.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
From survey to handover
Plan lifting
Each bollard's weight is checked, and a lifting method is chosen, such as a vacuum lifter or crane arm, with an exclusion zone set during lifts.
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.
Reinstate and clean
Paving is made good around each base and the bollards are cleaned of mortar and handling marks.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |
Pricing concrete bollards in Beverley
Two Beverley jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Size, shape and surface finish
- Number of bollards
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
After installation
Concrete bollards need very little: occasional washing, removal of graffiti with suitable cleaners, and checks for chips, cracks and lean. Keep a note of the product name, finish and supplier, because matching a single damaged bollard years later is much easier when the original specification is known.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Beverley.
Common questions
Can you install concrete bollards anywhere in Beverley?
We cover all of Beverley (HU17, HU16 and HU20) and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. We also work in Hull, Bridlington and Goole.
Do I need consent for concrete bollards on a public footway in Beverley?
In Beverley, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
What's a typical price for concrete bollards in Beverley?
In Beverley, typically £165–£575 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
Can a chipped concrete bollard be repaired?
Small chips and edge damage can be filled with colour-matched mortar. A bollard cracked through or broken at its base needs replacing. Matching finishes is easier if the original product is still made.
