Consents, ground and services in Beverley
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is the highway authority covering Beverley'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 Beverley is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (East Riding of Yorkshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Flexible bollards put repeated load on their fixings, because every knock rocks the base. Where posts go in a line across a drainage fall, positions avoid channels and gullies.
- Keep pedestrian gaps and routes clear, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance where people walk through the line.
- Do not use flexible bollards where a physical barrier is needed to protect people or buildings; they guide rather than stop.
From survey to handover
Check the surface
Slabs and decks are checked for thickness, reinforcement and waterproofing before drilling. Weak tarmac may need a concrete pad or socket base.
Fix the bases
Holes are drilled and cleaned, resin anchors or bolts are set and the bases fixed and torqued once cured. Socket bases are set flush in concrete.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Polyurethane posts | Flex along their length and return to shape. Gentle on vehicles and common in car parks and on forecourts. |
| Sprung-base bollards | A rigid post on a heavy spring or elastomer base that tilts and returns. Looks like a conventional bollard. |
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |
What affects the quote
Two Beverley jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
- Number of posts and length of line
- Bolt-down or socket base
Keeping them working
After resurfacing or line repainting, check that the bases were not disturbed or painted over, and that posts still line up with the new markings. Posts exposed to strong sunlight slowly lose flexibility and colour, and eventually crack; replacing the post on its existing base is usually quick.
If posts in Beverley are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do flexible bollards damage vehicles?
Typically very little in a low-speed knock, which is a large part of their appeal. They may leave a scuff on paintwork. A rigid post in the same position would usually dent the vehicle and bend itself.
Will a flexible bollard stop a car?
No. It is designed to bend and recover, so a car can push past it. It marks the line and discourages drivers from crossing it. Where a vehicle must be physically stopped, use a rigid bollard.
