Permissions and groundwork in Brierley Hill
Dudley Council is the highway authority covering Brierley Hill's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Brierley Hill is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Dudley Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
On tarmac, a small concrete pad or a socket base cast in concrete is the reliable option. 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.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
What happens on site
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.
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.
Specification choices

| 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. |
What moves the price in Brierley Hill
Two Brierley Hill jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Surface condition and need for concrete pads
- Out-of-hours working in busy car parks
- Number of posts and length of line
Keeping them working
Check flexible bollards for splits, permanent bends and loose bases, and tighten or replace fixings that have worked loose. Keep a few spare posts on site where knocks are frequent, so a damaged one can be swapped before the line develops a gap.
For damaged or loose posts in Brierley Hill, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
