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.
Set the socket flush
The socket is set in concrete with its rim exactly at finished surface level and to the fall of the ground, so the lid sits flat and nothing catches on it.
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.

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.
Can all the bollards on our site use one key?
Yes, if the locks are ordered keyed alike. That is common on estates and car parks with several access points. Spare keys can be supplied at the same time.
