Before we dig in Worksop
Nottinghamshire County Council is the highway authority covering Worksop's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Worksop need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Bassetlaw before posts go in.
Backfilling in compacted layers stops later settlement, which otherwise shows as a dip in the new surface. Foundations are rarely the size anyone expects.
- Have automatic and lighting bollard supplies isolated and made safe by a qualified electrician.
- Collect and dispose of hydraulic fluid and waste properly rather than leaving it in the ground.
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.
Backfill and reinstate
Holes are backfilled in compacted layers and the surface reinstated to match, so there is no settlement or trip edge.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cut off below surface | Post removed at or below finished level, foundation left in place and the surface patched. Quick and low-disruption. |
| Socket and cassette removal | Removable sockets and telescopic or semi-automatic cassettes extracted whole and the hole filled. |
| Automatic bollard decommissioning | Electrical isolation, hydraulic drain-down, cassette removal and capping of ducts. |
What affects the quote
Our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Worksop firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Access, working hours and waste disposal
- Size of foundations and amount of spoil
- Cutting off or full foundation extraction
After installation
After removal, keep an eye on reinstated areas for settlement over the following months, particularly where large foundations were broken out. 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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Worksop.
