What we check first in Spalding
Lincolnshire County Council is the highway authority covering Spalding's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Spalding need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for South Holland before posts go in.
Multi-storey and rooftop decks are a special case: slabs may be post-tensioned or carry waterproofing and heating, so drilling depth and positions are agreed with the building owner and scanned first. Where posts go in a line across a drainage fall, positions avoid channels and gullies.
- 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
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Polyurethane posts | Flex along their length and return to shape. Gentle on vehicles and common in car parks and on forecourts. |
| Colours and reflective sleeves | Yellow, black, red, white or orange, with reflective sleeves for visibility in low light. |
| Low-profile deck bases | Shallow fixings for multi-storey decks where deep drilling is not permitted. |
Pricing flexible bollards in Spalding
Our East of England guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Spalding firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
- Surface condition and need for concrete pads
Keeping them working
Check flexible bollards for splits, permanent bends and loose bases, and tighten or replace fixings that have worked loose. Clean reflective sleeves so they stay visible, and replace them when they fade or peel.
If posts in Spalding are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
How many times can a flexible bollard be hit?
Many times in normal use, as long as the impacts are the low-speed bumps it is designed for. A heavy vehicle running right over it, or a high-speed strike, can tear it. Manufacturers give guidance for their products.
