Consents, ground and services in Lichfield
The highway authority for local roads in Lichfield is Staffordshire 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.
If your site in Lichfield is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Lichfield) 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. 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.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
- Keep pedestrian gaps and routes clear, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance where people walk through the line.
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.
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. |
| 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 Lichfield
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Lichfield firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Bolt-down or socket base
- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
After installation
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. Check flexible bollards for splits, permanent bends and loose bases, and tighten or replace fixings that have worked loose.
