Before we dig in Litherland
In Litherland, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Sefton Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Litherland is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Sefton 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.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
What happens on site
Set out the line
Posts are set out to guide vehicles along the intended path, with spacing that reads as a line to drivers.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Sprung-base bollards | A rigid post on a heavy spring or elastomer base that tilts and returns. Looks like a conventional bollard. |
What moves the price in Litherland
Two Litherland jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Out-of-hours working in busy car parks
- Deck scanning and restrictions on drilling
- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
Looking after them
Keep a few spare posts on site where knocks are frequent, so a damaged one can be swapped before the line develops a gap. Check flexible bollards for splits, permanent bends and loose bases, and tighten or replace fixings that have worked loose.
If posts in Litherland are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do I need consent for flexible bollards on a public footway in Litherland?

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.
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.
