What we check first in Nuneaton
In Nuneaton, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Warwickshire 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 Nuneaton and Bedworth) first — we flag this at survey.
Telescopic bollards need a deeper excavation than other manual bollards, so ground and services decide where they can go. Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing.
- Confirm the bollard is on your land; bollards on a public footway or dropped kerb need the highway authority's agreement.
- Connect drainage only to surface water systems or a soakaway, never to a foul drain.
What happens on site
Check depth and drainage
The free site survey checks how far down we can dig, where services run under the drive and how the ground drains. If water will stand, a drain connection is priced into the fixed written quote.
Cut and excavate
The surface is cut neatly and the hole dug to the cassette's full depth plus a drainage layer, with care near any service that crosses the drive.
Set the cassette
The cassette is set vertical and its top exactly at finished surface level and fall, then concreted in. A cassette set high or low is a common cause of tyre damage and trip edges.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Finishes | Galvanised, powder-coated in common colours, or stainless steel to suit the frontage. |
| Standard or lift-assisted | Lift-assisted models use a spring or counterweight so the post rises with little effort, useful for daily domestic use. |
| Lid and head designs | Flush hinged lids, removable caps or integrated heads that close the cassette top when lowered. |
What moves the price in Nuneaton
Two Nuneaton jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Stainless or powder-coated finish
- Number of posts and keyed-alike locks
- Post size and whether lift assistance is wanted
After installation
Clear leaves and grit from around the lid, and a few times a year lift the post fully and look into the cassette for standing water or silt. Lubricate the lock with a suitable spray, especially before winter.
For damaged or loose posts in Nuneaton, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Will a telescopic bollard stop my car being stolen?
It adds a physical barrier that a thief has to defeat before driving away, which slows them down and makes the car a less attractive target. It is one layer of protection, not a complete answer to keyless car theft.
