Before we dig in West Bridgford
In West Bridgford, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Nottinghamshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 (the council for Rushcliffe) first — we flag this at survey.
Where covers go over existing posts, there is usually no excavation at all, but the base of the old post often sits in broken surfacing that is worth making good at the same time so the cover finishes neatly against a clean edge. Stainless can be stained by iron particles from cutting discs, drills and steel tools used nearby, and those particles rust on the surface within days.
- On crash-rated bollards, confirm with the manufacturer that the cover is approved for the tested product.
- Check with the local planning authority before installing in conservation areas or beside listed buildings, where stainless may not be considered appropriate.
Installation, step by step
Prepare the cores
For covers, existing posts are checked for straightness, loose foundations and corrosion. Cores that lean or move are re-bedded first, because a cover will not hide a failing post for long.
Install new posts
New solid stainless posts are set in concrete, bolted down or fitted into sockets, with care taken not to scratch the finish or contaminate it with carbon steel tools.
Clean and protect
Fingerprints, grinding dust and adhesive residue are cleaned off with suitable stainless cleaners, and the protective film is removed only when surrounding work is finished.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Grade 304 or 316 | 304 for most inland locations; 316 near the coast, swimming pools, or roads and car parks salted heavily in winter. |
| Solid stainless posts | Root-fixed, base-plated or removable posts, often concrete-filled or with a steel insert for strength. |
| Brushed or polished finish | Satin brushed finishes hide fingerprints and light scratches; mirror polish is striking but shows every mark. |

Do stainless covers affect a crash rating?
They can if they are not part of the tested product. Use covers supplied or approved by the bollard manufacturer. We fit approved covers and leave the core and foundation exactly as installed.

Yes, if the existing posts are straight, firmly fixed and a size the covers can be made to fit. Leaning or loose posts are re-bedded first. It is often a quicker way to refresh a frontage than replacing every post.
