What we check first in Halesowen
Dudley Council is the highway authority covering Halesowen'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 Halesowen 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.
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 tarmac, a small concrete pad or a socket base cast in concrete is the reliable option.
- Do not use flexible bollards where a physical barrier is needed to protect people or buildings; they guide rather than stop.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Polyurethane posts | Flex along their length and return to shape. Gentle on vehicles and common in car parks and on forecourts. |
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |
| Bolt-down or socket bases | Bolt-down for existing slabs; socket bases allow posts to be replaced without new fixings. |
Pricing flexible bollards in Halesowen
When we price flexible bollards in Halesowen, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Deck scanning and restrictions on drilling
- Out-of-hours working in busy car parks
After installation
Keep a few spare posts on site where knocks are frequent, so a damaged one can be swapped before the line develops a gap. Check flexible bollards for splits, permanent bends and loose bases, and tighten or replace fixings that have worked loose.
If posts in Halesowen are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do I need consent for flexible bollards on a public footway in Halesowen?

Will a flexible bollard stop a car?
No. It is designed to bend and recover, so a car can push past it. It marks the line and discourages drivers from crossing it. Where a vehicle must be physically stopped, use a rigid bollard.
Can a damaged flexible post be replaced on the same base?
Usually, yes, especially with socket bases designed for it. The post is removed and a new one fitted. If the base itself is damaged or loose, it is re-fixed or replaced at the same time.
