What we check first in Brierley Hill
Dudley Council is the highway authority covering Brierley Hill's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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.
Reinstatement matches paving, tactile surfaces and kerbs. Footways and forecourts in towns are usually crowded with cables, gas mains, water pipes and old drainage, and a single unexpected duct can stop a bollard position.
- Confirm who owns the land: works on public highway usually need the highway authority's agreement, and permanent street furniture there may need a licence.
- Agree how emergency vehicles will get through, and refer to guidance on selecting and installing vehicle security barriers such as PAS 69 or ISO 22343-2.
How the job runs
Free site survey and ground checks
A free site survey looks at access, surfaces and likely services, followed by utility searches, radar scanning and trial holes where needed. You then receive a fixed written quote based on what the survey found.
Set out and excavate
Positions are set out to the drawing and excavated to the tested depth and width, with shoring where the ground needs it. Spoil is removed as work progresses.
Fix reinforcement and set the posts
The reinforcement cage is built to the drawing and the bollards are held to line and level in templates. Concrete is poured to the specified grade, with samples taken for testing if the specification calls for them.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Deep or standard foundation designs | Deep foundations suit open ground where excavation is unrestricted. Where services or slabs get in the way, shallow-mount tested designs may be a better fit. |
| Static rated bollards | Fixed posts for permanent lines where vehicles never need to pass. They are a straightforward rated option to install and maintain. |
| Finishes and visibility bands | Galvanised and powder-coated finishes in RAL colours, with contrasting or reflective bands near the top so the posts are visible to pedestrians and drivers. |
What moves the price in Brierley Hill
Two Brierley Hill jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Traffic management, restricted working hours or night work in occupied sites
- Reinstatement of natural stone, tactile paving or specialist surfaces
- Buried services, diversions and ground investigation
Keeping them working
Look for cracked surfacing at the base, movement, damaged covers and faded bands. Movable rated bollards need a planned servicing schedule.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Brierley Hill.

How much do crash-rated bollards cost in Brierley Hill?
In Brierley Hill, typically £1,995–£9,995 per bollard, supplied and installed on a standard tested foundation, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £3,995 plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Why can't the foundation be adjusted to suit our ground?
Because the rating belongs to the bollard and foundation as tested together. Making the hole shallower, narrower or lighter on steel changes how the system behaves on impact. If site conditions force a change, the manufacturer has to approve it in writing, and some changes mean choosing a different product such as a shallow-mount system.
Is a heavy unrated steel post good enough instead?
Not where the risk is a deliberate vehicle attack. An unrated post may look solid, but nobody can say what it will stop because it has never been tested with its foundation. Unrated steel suits nuisance parking and low-speed knocks, not crowds or buildings flagged in a security assessment.
