Permissions and groundwork in Bedworth
The highway authority for local roads in Bedworth is Warwickshire 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.
Many private-land installations in Bedworth 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 Nuneaton and Bedworth before posts go in.
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.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
- Keep pedestrian gaps and routes clear, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance where people walk through the line.
How the job runs
Survey traffic movements
The free site survey looks at vehicle sizes, turning paths and where drivers currently clip posts or kerbs. You receive a fixed written quote with post type and fixing.
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 |
|---|---|
| Low-profile deck bases | Shallow fixings for multi-storey decks where deep drilling is not permitted. |
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |
| Colours and reflective sleeves | Yellow, black, red, white or orange, with reflective sleeves for visibility in low light. |
Pricing flexible bollards in Bedworth
When we price flexible bollards in Bedworth, these make the biggest difference:
- Deck scanning and restrictions on drilling
- Number of posts and length of line
- Out-of-hours working in busy car parks
Keeping them working
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 Bedworth are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Which parts of Bedworth do you cover for flexible bollards?
We cover all of Bedworth (CV12) and the rest of Warwickshire. We also work in Nuneaton, Coventry and Hinckley.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Bedworth?
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority covering Bedworth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
How much do flexible bollards cost in Bedworth?
In Bedworth, typically £195–£595 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £445 plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
