Consents, ground and services in Bedworth
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority covering Bedworth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Bedworth 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 the council for Nuneaton and Bedworth before posts go in.
Cable trenches run between every position and back to the supply, often crossing paths, drives and planting, so the routes are planned to minimise cuts through hard surfaces and to avoid existing gas, water and telecoms services. Bases are set in firm ground with the cable entry facing the right way, and on paved routes the bollards are positioned so cables can be pulled through ducts rather than requiring surfaces to be lifted again later.
- Have the electrical installation designed, installed, tested and certified by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- Limit glare and upward light, and check for any planning or ecology conditions on lighting near sensitive habitats.
Installation, step by step
Dig cable routes
Trenches are dug between bollard positions and the supply point, avoiding existing services, with cable or duct laid at a suitable depth and warning tape above.
Set the bases
Anchor cages or foundations are cast at each position with the cable entry in the right place, set level so each bollard stands plumb.
Test, aim and certify
The circuit is tested and certified, bollards are checked at night for coverage and glare, and asymmetric heads are turned to face the path.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Mains LED bollards | Wired from a dedicated circuit for reliable lighting of paths and car parks. Needs cable routes and electrical certification. |
| Colour temperature | Warm white for residential and amenity areas; warmer or amber options near sensitive wildlife habitats. |
| Body materials and finishes | Powder-coated aluminium or steel, or stainless steel, in colours to suit the building. |
What moves the price in Bedworth
When we price lighting bollards in Bedworth, these make the biggest difference:
- Reinstatement of paving, tarmac or planting
- Distance from the supply and circuit requirements
- Number of bollards and their specification
Keeping them working
Clean diffusers so dirt and algae do not dim the light, check seals and fixings, and look for impact damage, especially in car parks. If a run of bollards trips the circuit after rain, water ingress at a connection is the usual cause and needs an electrician.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bedworth.

What IP rating do outdoor bollard lights need?
Usually at least IP65 for rain and splashing, and higher where water may collect or fittings are hosed down. Ask for the rating of the complete fitting, not just the LED module.
Will lighting bollards survive in a car park?
Choose robust bodies with a high impact rating and place them where vehicles are unlikely to hit them, such as behind kerbs or alongside protective posts. A lighting bollard is not designed to stop a car.
