Permissions and groundwork in Leyland
The highway authority for local roads in Leyland is Lancashire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Flexible 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 (the council for South Ribble) first — we flag this at survey.
Anchors therefore need sound concrete with enough edge distance; anchoring into thin, cracked or weak surfaces means the base works loose within weeks. On tarmac, a small concrete pad or a socket base cast in concrete is the reliable option.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
How the job runs
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.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.
Hand over spares and records
Post and base details are recorded so replacements match, and spare posts can be left on site for busy locations. Staff are shown how a post is swapped on its base.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Bolt-down or socket bases | Bolt-down for existing slabs; socket bases allow posts to be replaced without new fixings. |
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |
| Low-profile deck bases | Shallow fixings for multi-storey decks where deep drilling is not permitted. |
What moves the price in Leyland
When we price flexible bollards in Leyland, these make the biggest difference:
- Bolt-down or socket base
- Out-of-hours working in busy car parks
- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
After installation
Keep a few spare posts on site where knocks are frequent, so a damaged one can be swapped before the line develops a gap. Clean reflective sleeves so they stay visible, and replace them when they fade or peel.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Leyland.

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.
Can flexible bollards go in a multi-storey car park?
Yes, often with low-profile bases. The deck has to be checked first, as some slabs contain tendons or waterproofing that must not be drilled. The building owner usually needs to agree the fixing method.
