Before we dig 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.
If your site in Bedworth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Nuneaton and Bedworth) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Car park edges and walkways tend to be built quickly over shallow hardcore, and their kerb lines often carry lighting cables, drainage channels and ducts for EV chargers or signs. Where bollards protect a shopfront, the building's own foundations and any canopy columns may sit close to the line, which limits how deep and wide each base can go.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
How the job runs
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Bedworth
Two Bedworth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
After installation
Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike. Keep a simple note of strikes and their locations; over a year it shows which parts of the car park drivers find awkward, which is useful when the site is next resurfaced or re-lined.
For damaged or loose posts in Bedworth, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Pedestrian protection in Bedworth: FAQs
Which parts of Bedworth do you cover for pedestrian protection bollards?
We cover all of Bedworth (CV12) and the rest of Warwickshire. We also work in Nuneaton, Coventry and Hinckley.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Bedworth?
The highway authority for local roads in Bedworth is Warwickshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Pedestrian protection bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
How much do pedestrian protection bollards cost in Bedworth?
In Bedworth, typically £245–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £595 plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Should bollards be added at a drive-thru order point?
Often, yes, where people queue or sit beside the lane. Posts should follow the curve of the lane and be closest together at corners, where drivers tend to misjudge the turn. The positions are agreed on site with the operator.
How far from the kerb should car park bollards go?
Far enough back that parked bumpers do not hit them, but not so far that they narrow the walkway. That distance depends on the bay length and kerb height. We set it on site with the layout in front of us.
