Permissions and groundwork in Morley
The highway authority for local roads in Morley is Leeds City Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Steel security bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
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 (Leeds City Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Reinstatement matches the surface, whether tarmac, block paving, flags or turf. 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians, wheelchair users or buggies pass between posts.
- Fit contrasting or reflective bands near the top so posts are visible, as Inclusive Mobility guidance recommends.
From survey to handover
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.
Break out and excavate
For root-fixed posts, the surface is cut neatly and each hole is dug to depth, by hand near known services. For base plates, the slab is checked for thickness and soundness.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Concrete infill | Adds mass and stiffness and makes the post harder to cut or dent. Usually specified for security and impact positions. |
| Finishes | Hot-dip galvanised, then powder-coated in a RAL colour if wanted. Black, grey, yellow and green are common. |
| Root-fixed | Cast into a concrete foundation, typically with several hundred millimetres of post below ground. The usual choice where digging is possible. |
What affects the quote
Two Morley jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Root-fixed or base-plated installation
- Finish: galvanised only or powder-coated
- Ground conditions and buried services
Keeping them working
Check periodically for impact damage, loose base plates and cracked surfacing around the root. Reflective bands fade and peel and are easy to renew.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Morley.

Why fill a steel bollard with concrete?
Concrete infill adds weight and stiffness, so the post dents less and is harder to cut. It also stops water collecting inside a hollow tube. It is usual for security and impact positions.
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.
