Before we dig in Warwick
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority covering Warwick's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Warwick need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Warwickshire County Council before posts go in.
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. Because concrete bollards are heavy, a weak foundation shows itself quickly as a tilt.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
- On public highway or council land, agree positions and specification with the highway authority or landowner.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
| Reconstituted stone | Crushed natural stone in a concrete mix, giving a Portland, buff or granite-like appearance for civic and heritage settings. |
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |
Pricing concrete bollards in Warwick
Two Warwick jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
- Precast concrete or reconstituted stone
- Size, shape and surface finish
Keeping them working
In areas salted heavily in winter, check for surface spalling. Small chips can be repaired with a colour-matched mortar, but a bollard that has cracked through or sheared at the dowel needs replacing.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Warwick.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Warwick?
The highway authority for local roads in Warwick is Warwickshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Concrete bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
How much do concrete bollards cost in Warwick?
In Warwick, typically £175–£595 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £595 plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
How are concrete bollards fixed down?
Usually with a steel dowel at the base grouted into a small concrete foundation, so they cannot be pushed or rocked. Some designs have a root buried in the ground instead. Free-standing placement is used only for temporary layouts.
