Consents, ground and services in Kenilworth
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority covering Kenilworth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Warwickshire County Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Shop forecourts may be thin concrete over old fill, and filling station forecourts carry fuel lines, tank vents and interceptors that must be located precisely before anything is dug. Shopfronts often sit over cellars, coal holes, vaults and service entries, so what lies under the pavement can be more complicated than it looks.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
- Check who owns the ground in front of the shop; if it is public highway, the highway authority's agreement is needed.
Installation, step by step
Look at how a vehicle would approach
At the free site survey we look at where a vehicle could reverse from, the kerb line, the forecourt and the frontage construction. Ownership of the pavement in front of the shop is checked at the same time.
Excavate and set the posts
Each position is hand-dug near services and taken to depth, then the post is set plumb in a reinforced concrete base. Work is planned around trading hours where possible.
Reinstate the pavement
Paving, tarmac or forecourt concrete is made good flush with the base of each post, leaving no trip edges.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
| Stainless or decorative covers | Covers over steel cores for shopping streets and branded frontages where plain steel would look out of place. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
What affects the quote
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Kenilworth firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
Keeping them working
Ram-raid bollards are robust but not maintenance-free. Keep visibility bands clean, repaint chips before rust sets in on steel, and keep locks on removable posts lubricated so staff can actually use them.
If posts in Kenilworth are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

In Kenilworth, typically £395–£1,495 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £945 plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
What is PAS 170-1 and do I need it?
PAS 170-1 is a standard for testing vehicle security barriers against low-speed impacts. It suits ram-raid risks where someone has asked for tested performance, such as an insurer or security adviser. If nobody has asked for a tested product, a well-founded unrated post is often adequate.
Can we still take deliveries through the front?
Yes, if one or more positions are removable. Staff unlock and lift out the post for deliveries, then refit it. The socket is designed to sit flush when the post is out.
