Before we dig in Evesham
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Evesham's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Evesham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Wychavon) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close. 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians pass, checking against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Plan lifts with an exclusion zone and suitable lifting equipment, and record the method for the site.
How the job runs
Set the bollards
Each bollard is lowered onto a mortar bed with its dowel grouted in, checked plumb and aligned with its neighbours.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |
What affects the quote
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Evesham firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Precast concrete or reconstituted stone
- Reinstatement of paving or turf
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
Looking after them
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.
If posts in Evesham are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Which parts of Evesham do you cover for concrete bollards?
We cover all of Evesham (WR11, WR12 and WR10) and the rest of Worcestershire. We also work in Tewkesbury, Stratford-upon-Avon and Worcester.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Evesham?
The highway authority for local roads in Evesham is Worcestershire 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.
What's a typical price for concrete bollards in Evesham?
In Evesham, 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 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.
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.
