Where telescopic bollards go in around Stourport-on-Severn

Before we dig in Stourport-on-Severn
The highway authority for local roads in Stourport-on-Severn is Worcestershire 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.
If your site in Stourport-on-Severn is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Wyre Forest) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Clay soils and high water tables mean a gravel base alone will not drain the cassette; a connection to a surface water drain or a separate soakaway is then needed, and foul drains are not used. 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.
- Connect drainage only to surface water systems or a soakaway, never to a foul drain.
- Confirm the bollard is on your land; bollards on a public footway or dropped kerb need the highway authority's agreement.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Reinstate and test
The surface is made good to match. The post is raised, locked, lowered and locked several times to confirm smooth operation, and keys are handed over.
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. |
| Lid and head designs | Flush hinged lids, removable caps or integrated heads that close the cassette top when lowered. |
| Standard or lift-assisted | Lift-assisted models use a spring or counterweight so the post rises with little effort, useful for daily domestic use. |
What moves the price in Stourport-on-Severn
When we price telescopic bollards in Stourport-on-Severn, these make the biggest difference:
- Stainless or powder-coated finish
- Excavation depth and the presence of services under the drive

Keeping them working
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.
If posts in Stourport-on-Severn are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Stourport-on-Severn?

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.
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.
