Rules for bollard removal jobs in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first.

How installation works
Check consents and reasons
Before removal, check whether the bollards were required by a planning condition, a lease, a security plan or the highway authority, and whether they protect something such as a meter or a building corner.
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.
Backfill and reinstate
Holes are backfilled in compacted layers and the surface reinstated to match, so there is no settlement or trip edge.

How much do bollard removal jobs cost in Norfolk?
In Norfolk, 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.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Norfolk?
For local roads, Norfolk County Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Should bollards be cut off or fully removed?
Cut off if the area is staying as it is and nothing will be built or dug there later. Fully remove if you are resurfacing, planting or installing something new, because buried concrete gets in the way. The quote can price both.
Can automatic bollards be removed safely?
Yes, once the supply has been isolated and disconnected by a qualified electrician and any hydraulic fluid drained. The cassette is then lifted and the pit backfilled. Ducts are capped or removed.
