Consents, ground and services in Kenilworth
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority covering Kenilworth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Kenilworth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Warwickshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Root-fixed posts need firm ground and enough depth to carry the post's root plus a concrete surround. Verges are often softer than they look, and the edges of car parks may be thin tarmac over hardcore, so the foundation is sized to the ground found.
- Avoid linking posts with chains across pedestrian routes, which can be a trip hazard for blind and partially sighted people.
- Do not describe unrated posts as anti-ram or HVM protection in risk assessments or to insurers.
How the job runs
Survey and set out
A free site survey confirms positions, surfaces, buried services and whether root-fixing or base plates suit the ground. You receive a fixed written quote listing post size, finish and fixing.
Fill and cap
Where specified, posts are filled with concrete and capped so water cannot collect inside the tube.
Reinstate and finish
The surface around each post is made good to match, and reflective bands are fitted. Damaged galvanising from handling is touched up.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Base-plated | Bolted to a sound concrete slab with resin anchors. Quick to fit and easy to remove later, suited to light-duty and indoor use. |
| Concrete infill | Adds mass and stiffness and makes the post harder to cut or dent. Usually specified for security and impact positions. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective or contrasting bands near the top for drivers at night and for partially sighted pedestrians. |

Why fill a steel bollard with concrete?

Can new posts match our existing ones?
Usually, if we can measure the existing diameter, height, cap and colour. Galvanised steel in standard sizes is easy to match; older or unusual sections may need a close equivalent.
