Consents, ground and services in Bromsgrove
In Bromsgrove, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Worcestershire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Bromsgrove is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Bromsgrove) 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. Anchors therefore need sound concrete with enough edge distance; anchoring into thin, cracked or weak surfaces means the base works loose within weeks.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
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.
Set out the line
Posts are set out to guide vehicles along the intended path, with spacing that reads as a line to drivers.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Bolt-down or socket bases | Bolt-down for existing slabs; socket bases allow posts to be replaced without new fixings. |
| 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. |

- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
- Deck scanning and restrictions on drilling
- 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. 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 Bromsgrove are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
