Concrete bollards suit plenty of Morley sites, small industrial units, community car parks and local parades among them. Precast concrete and reconstituted stone bollards for public realm, parks, boundaries and estates, dowelled or bedded in place.

What we check first in Morley
The highway authority for local roads in Morley is Leeds City 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 (Leeds City 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.
- 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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
What affects the quote
When we price concrete bollards in Morley, these make the biggest difference:
- Size, shape and surface finish
- Number of bollards
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
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. If a line is regularly struck by vehicles, consider whether steel cores, a tested product or a different layout would suit better.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Morley.

What's a typical price for concrete bollards in Morley?
In Morley, typically £165–£575 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Are concrete bollards anti-ram?
Only if that specific product has been crash-tested. Weight alone does not make a bollard crash-rated, and an untested concrete post can crack or shear when hit hard. Tested concrete-clad products exist for security use.
Can a chipped concrete bollard be repaired?
Small chips and edge damage can be filled with colour-matched mortar. A bollard cracked through or broken at its base needs replacing. Matching finishes is easier if the original product is still made.
