Rules for removable bollards in England

Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works

Agree who will lift the post

At the free site survey we talk through who will remove the post, how often and where it will be stored. That decides material, diameter and lock, and goes into a fixed written quote.

Cut and excavate

A small square of surface is cut out and excavated to socket depth, with a bed of free-draining stone at the bottom so water can leave the socket.

Reinstate around the socket

Block paving, tarmac or flags are cut tight to the collar and made good. On resin or bound surfaces, the edge is sealed neatly.

Fit posts and hand over keys

Posts are fitted and locked, and the lift-out and refit routine is checked on site. Keys and any storage brackets are handed over.

Can removable bollards be installed on block paving?

Yes. The socket is set in concrete beneath the blocks and the blocks are cut tight around the collar. It finishes neatly if the socket is set to the exact paving level.

Where do we keep the post when it is removed?

Somewhere it cannot become a trip hazard or be taken. A wall-mounted storage bracket or a locked store nearby works well. Leaving posts lying on the ground is how they get damaged or lost.
