Before we dig in Clevedon
In Clevedon, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from North Somerset Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 (North Somerset Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Services under footways are traced before excavation. Access for the lifting vehicle matters: soft grass, paving and kerbs can be damaged by an outrigger, so ground protection mats are often laid before lifting begins.
- 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
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
Pricing concrete bollards in Clevedon
Two Clevedon 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
- Size, shape and surface finish
Looking after them
Concrete bollards need very little: occasional washing, removal of graffiti with suitable cleaners, and checks for chips, cracks and lean. 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 Clevedon.

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.
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.
