Consents, ground and services in Billericay
Essex County Council is the highway authority covering Billericay's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 (the council for Basildon) first — we flag this at survey.
Each post sits on a concrete base on firm ground, and on soft verges or made ground the base is deepened or widened to suit. Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians pass, checking against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
Installation, step by step
Survey and choose
A free site survey looks at the setting, ground, delivery access and where a lifting vehicle can stand. You receive a fixed written quote with the product, finish and fixing.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reconstituted stone | Crushed natural stone in a concrete mix, giving a Portland, buff or granite-like appearance for civic and heritage settings. |
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
What moves the price in Billericay
Two Billericay jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Reinstatement of paving or turf
- Lifting equipment and access for delivery
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
After installation
Small chips can be repaired with a colour-matched mortar, but a bollard that has cracked through or sheared at the dowel needs replacing. 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 Billericay.

Do I need consent for concrete bollards on a public footway in Billericay?
In Billericay, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Essex County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.

How heavy are concrete bollards?
Often well over a hundred kilograms each, and larger designs several times that. The exact weight depends on size and shape. It means they are delivered and set using lifting equipment rather than by hand.
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.
