What we check first in Leominster
Herefordshire Council is the highway authority covering Leominster'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 (Herefordshire Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
- Plan lifts with an exclusion zone and suitable lifting equipment, and record the method for the site.
How the job runs
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.
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
| Surface finishes | Smooth, exposed aggregate, acid-etched or shot-blasted, chosen to suit paving and resist visible weathering. |
What affects the quote
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Leominster firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Lifting equipment and access for delivery
- Precast concrete or reconstituted stone
- Reinstatement of paving or turf
After installation
If a line is regularly struck by vehicles, consider whether steel cores, a tested product or a different layout would suit better. Concrete bollards need very little: occasional washing, removal of graffiti with suitable cleaners, and checks for chips, cracks and lean.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Leominster.

Should we use concrete or steel bollards?
Concrete suits landscaped and public spaces where appearance and low maintenance matter and where impacts are rare. Steel suits car parks and yards where knocks are frequent, because it bends rather than shatters. Many schemes use both in different places.
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.
