Frequently Asked Questions
How much do heavy-duty telescopic bollards cost?
Heavy-duty telescopic bollards typically cost between £700–£1,100 fully installed. Price varies depending on the material (powder-coated steel vs stainless steel), bollard diameter, and ground conditions. We provide free quotes tailored to your property, and all our prices are fully inclusive of installation.
How do heavy-duty telescopic bollards work?
Heavy Duty Telescopic bollards retract into a ground sleeve when unlocked, sitting flush with your driveway surface. To raise the bollard, you simply lift it up and turn the key to lock it in the upright position. The whole process takes about 5 seconds. The heavy-duty element consists of reinforced steel cores, deeper installation, and larger diameters.
Can heavy-duty telescopic bollards be installed on any driveway surface?
Yes. We install telescopic bollards on block paving, tarmac, concrete, and resin driveways. The installation involves core-drilling a hole and fitting a ground sleeve, which works on most surfaces. We'll advise if your driveway needs any preparation.
How long do heavy-duty telescopic bollards last?
Quality heavy-duty telescopic bollards last 15–20+ years with minimal maintenance. Stainless steel models are rust-resistant and require almost no upkeep beyond basic maintenance. We recommend occasional lubrication of the locking mechanism to keep operation smooth.
Are heavy-duty telescopic bollards insurance approved?
Yes. All of our heavy-duty telescopic bollards carry Sold Secure or LPS 1175 standards, which insurers recognise. Many customers see reduced car insurance premiums after installation. We can provide documentation for your insurer on request.
What's the difference between telescopic bollards and heavy-duty telescopic bollards.
Whilst all of our telescopic bollards are extremely strong and resistant to theft, the heavy-duty variants have additional features that give them an extra layer of resistance. This is usually what gives them additional preference for insurance companies. More information can be found here.
Do I need planning permission for a heavy-duty telescopic bollard?
No — heavy-duty telescopic bollards are classed as permitted development for residential properties, so planning permission isn't required. The only exception is listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, where you may need to check with your local council.
How long does heavy-duty telescopic bollard installation take?
Most single bollard installations take 1–2 hours. If you're having multiple bollards fitted, allow half a day. We handle everything including core drilling, fitting the ground sleeve, and setting the bollard, leaving your driveway clean and ready to use.
Are telescopic and retractable bollards the same thing?
Yes — telescopic bollards and retractable bollards are the same product. Both terms describe bollards that retract into the ground when not in use. "Telescopic" refers to how the bollard slides into a sleeve, while "retractable" simply means it can be lowered.
