What we check first in Evesham
In Evesham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Worcestershire 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 Wychavon) first — we flag this at survey.
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. 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm on pedestrian routes, in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Check with the local planning authority before installing in conservation areas or beside listed buildings, where stainless may not be considered appropriate.
What happens on site
Survey and match
A free site survey records existing cores, diameters, heights and the setting, including any salt or coastal exposure that points to 316. You receive a fixed written quote covering grade, finish and fixing.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heads and details | Domed, flat, angled or ball tops, grooved bands, engraved logos and inset reflective strips. |
| Solid stainless posts | Root-fixed, base-plated or removable posts, often concrete-filled or with a steel insert for strength. |
| Covers for rated bollards | Manufacturer-supplied or approved covers for crash-tested cores so the security rating is not compromised. |
Pricing stainless steel bollards in Evesham
Two Evesham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Manufacturer-approved covers for rated bollards
- Condition of existing cores and any re-bedding needed
- Surface reinstatement and protection of the finish during works
After installation
Check covers for loose fixings and rattles, and look at the base for trapped water or rust from an old core underneath. Avoid wire wool and steel brushes, which leave particles that rust.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Evesham.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Evesham?

How should stainless bollards be cleaned?
With water and mild detergent, then rinsed and dried, more often in coastal or salty conditions. Use stainless cleaners and non-scratch pads for marks. Never use wire wool or steel brushes.
Should I choose 304 or 316 stainless for bollards?
Choose 316 if the bollards are near the sea, a swimming pool or a road that is salted heavily; choose 304 for most other locations. The extra resistance of 316 to chlorides is what stops brown staining in those settings.
