Consents, ground and services in Selby
The highway authority for local roads in Selby is North Yorkshire 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.
If your site in Selby is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (North Yorkshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Anchors therefore need sound concrete with enough edge distance; anchoring into thin, cracked or weak surfaces means the base works loose within weeks. 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.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
How the job runs
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Sprung-base bollards | A rigid post on a heavy spring or elastomer base that tilts and returns. Looks like a conventional bollard. |
| Colours and reflective sleeves | Yellow, black, red, white or orange, with reflective sleeves for visibility in low light. |
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |
Pricing flexible bollards in Selby
When we price flexible bollards in Selby, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Bolt-down or socket base
- 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. 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.
If posts in Selby 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.
