Consents, ground and services in Bognor Regis
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Bognor Regis'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 Bognor Regis is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Arun) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Telescopic bollards need a deeper excavation than other manual bollards, so ground and services decide where they can go. Drives commonly hide the water supply pipe, gas service, electric cable and drainage runs, often at shallow depth, and they cluster near the property boundary where posts are usually wanted.
- If the drive is shared, agree positions and keys with the other users first.
- Leave access for emergency services on commercial and multi-occupancy sites, and record who holds keys.
From survey to handover
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Diameter and height | Commonly around 90–140 mm diameter and 600–900 mm raised height, with larger posts for commercial use. |
| Lock types | Keyed cylinder locks, often with a cover to keep out dirt; keyed alike for multi-bay sites where one key should open every post. |
| Finishes | Galvanised, powder-coated in common colours, or stainless steel to suit the frontage. |
What affects the quote
Two Bognor Regis jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Drainage: simple soakaway or a connection to a drain
- Excavation depth and the presence of services under the drive
- Surface type and quality of reinstatement
Keeping them working
Lower and raise the bollard regularly, even if you rarely need to, so the mechanism stays free. If the post becomes stiff or will not lower fully, the usual causes are debris in the cassette or a blocked drain, both of which are easier to fix early than after the post has seized.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bognor Regis.
Telescopic bollards in Bognor Regis: FAQs
Do you install telescopic bollards in Bognor Regis?
We cover all of Bognor Regis (PO21 and PO22) and the rest of West Sussex. We also work in Chichester, Littlehampton and Worthing.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Bognor Regis?
The highway authority for local roads in Bognor Regis is West Sussex County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Telescopic bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
How much do telescopic bollards cost in Bognor Regis?
In Bognor Regis, typically £365–£1,245 per bollard with cassette, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£435–£1,495 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £675 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
How deep does a telescopic bollard go into the ground?
Usually around the exposed height of the post plus the cassette base and drainage layer, which often comes to a metre or more. The exact depth depends on the model. That depth is why we check for services under the drive first.
Can a telescopic bollard be fitted into a resin or imprinted drive?
Yes, though the cut has to be made cleanly and the surface patched around the lid. Resin and imprinted finishes are hard to match exactly, so we plan positions to keep visible patching small.
