What we check first in Selby
In Selby, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from North Yorkshire Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Selby is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (North Yorkshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Removable bollards need modest depth, which makes them one of the easier bollards to fit around services. A socket set even a few millimetres proud becomes a trip edge and gets clipped by tyres and snow ploughs; one set low collects water and grit.
- Check whether the location is public highway; a highway authority agreement is usually needed there.
- Keep a clear route of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm between posts on pedestrian routes, and check against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
What happens on site
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Diameter and height | Commonly 76–140 mm diameter and around 900–1,000 mm high, chosen to suit visibility and handling. |
| Steel, stainless or aluminium posts | Galvanised and powder-coated steel for robustness, stainless for appearance, aluminium where lightness matters for frequent lifting. |
| Rated removable posts | Crash-tested removable models exist for security lines; they use heavier sockets and tested foundations. |
Pricing removable bollards in Selby
Two Selby jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Drainage at the socket base
- Post material: steel, stainless or aluminium
- Surface type and reinstatement
Keeping them working
Check the lid springs and hinges. Keep spare keys somewhere sensible, because lost keys are a common reason for a post being cut out.
If posts in Selby are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Removable bollards in Selby: FAQs

Do I need consent for removable bollards on a public footway in Selby?
In Selby, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from North Yorkshire Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do removable bollards cost in Selby?
In Selby, typically £235–£815 per bollard with ground socket, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£275–£975 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
