Before we dig in Leyland
Lancashire County Council is the highway authority covering Leyland'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 South Ribble) 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.
- Use contrasting colours or bands so grey bollards stand out against grey paving.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians pass, checking against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |

Keeping them working

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.
