What Driveway Bollards Actually Cost in Leeds (2026)

Telescopic Bollards — Installed Pricing

Vanguard Prime (our flagship) is what most Leeds and Harrogate customers pick. 304 stainless steel, 750mm above ground, 89mm diameter, mechanical lock with 4 keys, retracts fully flush with the drive.

Vanguard One is the budget tier — same telescopic operation, lower spec finish, around £100 less per bollard installed.

What Affects The Final Price in Leeds & Harrogate

Surface Type

Leeds drives are mostly block paving (LS17 and HG estates), tarmac (older Roundhay terraces), gravel (rural Harrogate / Wetherby) or concrete:

• Block paving: Lift, drop socket, reinstate. Included.
• Tarmac: Core-drill through. Included.
• Gravel: Easiest install. Included.
• Concrete: Core-drill the slab. Included.

Driveway Width

Under 3 m opening: one bollard (£749). 3–4.5 m: two posts (£1,448). 4.5–6 m: three posts (£2,097). Over 6 m: four posts (£2,596). Rule: gaps under 1.5 m so no car fits through.
