Consents, ground and services in Enniskillen
Kerbside work in Enniskillen is a DfI Roads question: the Department for Infrastructure is the roads authority for Northern Ireland, and its permission is needed for anything placed in the public road or footway.
Planning in Northern Ireland sits with the councils, so for a listed building or conservation area in Enniskillen the planning team at Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is the one to ask 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. Services under footways are traced before excavation.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians pass, checking against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
What happens on site
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Surface finishes | Smooth, exposed aggregate, acid-etched or shot-blasted, chosen to suit paving and resist visible weathering. |
| Reconstituted stone | Crushed natural stone in a concrete mix, giving a Portland, buff or granite-like appearance for civic and heritage settings. |
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
What affects the quote
When we price concrete bollards in Enniskillen, these make the biggest difference:
- Precast concrete or reconstituted stone
- Reinstatement of paving or turf
- Size, shape and surface finish
After installation
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. Small chips can be repaired with a colour-matched mortar, but a bollard that has cracked through or sheared at the dowel needs replacing.
If posts in Enniskillen are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do I need consent for concrete bollards on a public footway in Enniskillen?

In Enniskillen, typically £175–£585 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our Northern Ireland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
