What we check first in Aldridge
In Aldridge, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Walsall Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Aldridge 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 Walsall Council before posts go in.
Services under footways are traced before excavation. Each post sits on a concrete base on firm ground, and on soft verges or made ground the base is deepened or widened to suit.
- On public highway or council land, agree positions and specification with the highway authority or landowner.
- 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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |
| Reconstituted stone | Crushed natural stone in a concrete mix, giving a Portland, buff or granite-like appearance for civic and heritage settings. |
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
What affects the quote
Two Aldridge jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of bollards
- Precast concrete or reconstituted stone
- Lifting equipment and access for delivery
Looking after them
In areas salted heavily in winter, check for surface spalling. 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 Aldridge.

Do I need consent for concrete bollards on a public footway in Aldridge?

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.
Can concrete bollards be moved later?
Yes, though it takes lifting equipment. Dowel-fixed bollards can be lifted off once the grout is broken out, and the foundation removed or reused. Plan for it if you think the layout may change.
