Frequently Asked Questions
How much do telescopic bollards cost?
Telescopic bollards typically cost between £600–£1,000 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 telescopic bollards work?
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.
Can 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 telescopic bollards last?
Quality 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 telescopic bollards insurance approved?
Yes. Most of our telescopic bollards meet 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 stainless steel and powder-coated telescopic bollards?
Stainless steel bollards offer superior corrosion resistance and a premium finish — ideal for exposed coastal areas or if aesthetics matter. Powder-coated steel is more affordable and available in colours (black, white, yellow, red) to match your property.
Do I need planning permission for a telescopic bollard?
No — 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 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.
