Consents, ground and services in Warwick
The highway authority for local roads in Warwick 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 Warwick 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 Warwickshire County Council before posts go in.
Where posts go in a line across a drainage fall, positions avoid channels and gullies. Anchors therefore need sound concrete with enough edge distance; anchoring into thin, cracked or weak surfaces means the base works loose within weeks.
- Keep pedestrian gaps and routes clear, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance where people walk through the line.
- Do not use flexible bollards where a physical barrier is needed to protect people or buildings; they guide rather than stop.
From survey to handover
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Polyurethane posts | Flex along their length and return to shape. Gentle on vehicles and common in car parks and on forecourts. |
What affects the quote
Two Warwick jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Bolt-down or socket base
- Deck scanning and restrictions on drilling
- Surface condition and need for concrete pads
Keeping them working
Posts exposed to strong sunlight slowly lose flexibility and colour, and eventually crack; replacing the post on its existing base is usually quick. Check flexible bollards for splits, permanent bends and loose bases, and tighten or replace fixings that have worked loose.
If posts in Warwick are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

What's a typical price for flexible bollards in Warwick?
In Warwick, 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.
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.
Do flexible bollards work in cold weather?
They do, but polymers become stiffer in cold conditions and recover more slowly after a knock. Sprung-base designs are less affected. Neither type is damaged by normal UK winter temperatures.
