Flexible bollards in Nuneaton: common uses

- Lane separation at car park entrances and exits
- Temporary or trial layouts before permanent kerbs
Before we dig in Nuneaton
In Nuneaton, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Warwickshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Nuneaton and Bedworth) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Keep pedestrian gaps and routes clear, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance where people walk through the line.
Installation, step by step
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.
Check the surface
Slabs and decks are checked for thickness, reinforcement and waterproofing before drilling. Weak tarmac may need a concrete pad or socket base.
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 |
|---|---|
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |
| Low-profile deck bases | Shallow fixings for multi-storey decks where deep drilling is not permitted. |
| Polyurethane posts | Flex along their length and return to shape. Gentle on vehicles and common in car parks and on forecourts. |
What moves the price in Nuneaton
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Nuneaton firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Surface condition and need for concrete pads
- Deck scanning and restrictions on drilling
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. Clean reflective sleeves so they stay visible, and replace them when they fade or peel.
For damaged or loose posts in Nuneaton, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
