Before we dig in Bedworth
In Bedworth, 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.
Turf around new posts is reinstated and, on sites used by mowers, posts are spaced so equipment can pass. Clay holds water against the timber and benefits from a free-draining stone base; sandy ground may need a concrete surround to stop posts loosening.
- Leave pedestrian gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm, and wider at path entrances used by cycles, buggies and mobility scooters, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Fit reflective bands or white tops where posts stand beside roads or in unlit car parks.
How the job runs
Dig the holes
Holes are dug by hand or auger to the required depth, avoiding roots and checking for services along verges and footpaths.
Set the posts
Posts are set plumb and to a consistent height, backfilled with compacted stone or concreted with a shaped top. Cut softwood ends are re-treated.
Finish and tidy
Reflective bands are fitted, turf is reinstated around the posts and spoil is removed or spread as agreed.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Fixing methods | Direct burial in compacted stone, set in concrete with a shaped collar, or mounted on a steel shoe or socket. |
| Treated softwood | Pressure-treated pine for ground contact, economical for long runs on verges and rural sites. |
| Oak | Naturally durable heartwood that weathers to silver-grey. Suits parks, heritage settings and visible frontages. |
What moves the price in Bedworth
When we price timber bollards in Bedworth, these make the biggest difference:
- Species: treated softwood, oak or tropical hardwood
- Post size and length
- Number of posts and length of the line
Looking after them
Replacing individual damaged posts is straightforward if the original size and species are recorded. New oak can release tannin that stains nearby paving for the first season; this weathers away.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bedworth.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Bedworth?

Why is my new oak bollard cracking?
Oak shrinks as it dries, and surface checks and splits are a normal part of that. They rarely affect the post's strength. Deep splits that run right through, or soft wood at the base, are a different matter.
Is tropical hardwood a sustainable choice?
It can be, if it comes from certified sustainable sources. Ask for certification with the order. Oak and treated softwood from managed forests are alternatives.
