Permissions and groundwork in Kingswinford
The highway authority for local roads in Kingswinford is Dudley 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.
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 (Dudley Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Services under footways are traced before excavation. Because concrete bollards are heavy, a weak foundation shows itself quickly as a tilt.
- 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
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.
Reinstate and clean
Paving is made good around each base and the bollards are cleaned of mortar and handling marks.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
| 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 Kingswinford
When we price concrete bollards in Kingswinford, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of bollards
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
- Size, shape and surface finish
Keeping them working
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. Small chips can be repaired with a colour-matched mortar, but a bollard that has cracked through or sheared at the dowel needs replacing.
For damaged or loose posts in Kingswinford, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Kingswinford?

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.
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.
