Rules for concrete bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
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.
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.
