Consents, ground and services in Skegness
The highway authority for local roads in Skegness is Lincolnshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
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 East Lindsey) first — we flag this at survey.
Foundations are rarely the size anyone expects. Older bollards may sit in large blocks of concrete, and rated bollards in very large reinforced bases, so full extraction can mean substantial breaking out and spoil removal.
- Check whether the bollards were required by a planning condition, lease, security plan or the highway authority before removing them.
- Have automatic and lighting bollard supplies isolated and made safe by a qualified electrician.
How the job runs
Survey what is in the ground
The free site survey identifies bollard types, likely foundation sizes, any power or ducts, and what the area will be used for next. You receive a fixed written quote for the agreed level of removal.
Make supplies safe
For automatic and lighting bollards, a qualified electrician isolates and disconnects the supply, and hydraulic units are drained.
Remove posts and foundations
Posts are cut off or extracted, foundations broken out where agreed, and sockets, cassettes and ducts removed or capped.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Full extraction | Post and foundation broken out, leaving clear ground for resurfacing or new works. |
| Relocation | Careful removal of reusable posts and reinstallation in new positions on the same site. |
| Lighting bollard removal | Supply made dead and cables terminated or removed by a qualified electrician before posts are lifted. |
What affects the quote
Our East of England guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Skegness firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Electrical isolation and hydraulic drain-down
- Number and type of bollards
Looking after them
Keep any keys, manuals and records from removed automatic bollards until the controller and cabling have also been dealt with, as they help an electrician confirm what was connected. Where cables were terminated rather than removed, record where they are and confirm with the electrician that they are dead and labelled.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Skegness.
Common questions
Can you carry out bollard removal jobs anywhere in Skegness?
We cover all of Skegness (PE25 and PE24) and the rest of Lincolnshire. We also work in Boston.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Skegness?
In Skegness, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Lincolnshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
What's a typical price for bollard removal jobs in Skegness?
In Skegness, typically £80–£355 per post removed with footing, surface made good, plus VAT (£95–£425 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £295 plus VAT, using our East of England guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can removed bollards be reused elsewhere on site?
Often, if they come out undamaged. Steel posts and removable bollards relocate well. New foundations are formed at the new positions.
Will the surface look patched after removal?
On block paving it can be nearly invisible, as the blocks are relaid. Tarmac, resin and concrete usually show a patch, especially on older weathered surfaces. Timing removal before resurfacing avoids that.
