Consents, ground and services in Montrose
For anything on the public footway in Montrose we check with the roads authority first — Angus Council for local roads, Transport Scotland on trunk routes. Private ground such as a car park or forecourt only needs the owner's go-ahead.
Bollards on private land often need no planning application, but listed buildings and conservation areas are different; the planning service at Angus Council can confirm before anything is ordered.
Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further. Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
Installation, step by step
Receive a written price
We confirm the cost of the visit and the expected work in writing before anyone attends. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
Make safe if needed
Where a post is a hazard now, the first step can be to make it safe by removing or capping it, priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
Record and hand back
The repaired posts are checked, the surface is made good and photographs are sent so you have a record for your maintenance file.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| Caps, hinges and bands | Replacement caps and heads, hinge pins or assemblies on fold-down posts, and new reflective bands. |
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
Pricing bollard repairs in Montrose
Our Scotland guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Montrose firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Access, traffic management and working hours
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
- Type of repair and number of posts
Keeping them working
Lubricating locks a few times a year, lifting removable and telescopic posts periodically, keeping cassettes clear of grit, touching up chipped paint and checking for lean after knocks will prevent many of them. Keep a record of bollard types, suppliers, key numbers and colours on site, so a repair can be quoted and matched quickly when it is needed.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Montrose.
Bollard repairs in Montrose: FAQs
Do you carry out bollard repairs in Montrose?
We cover all of Montrose (DD10) and the rest of Angus. We also work in Arbroath, Forfar and Carnoustie.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Montrose?
Montrose falls under Angus Council as roads authority. If the line of posts crosses onto adopted road or pavement, permission comes before excavation; on private land it does not.
How much do bollard repairs cost in Montrose?
In Montrose, typically £115–£445 per visit, typically one to three posts, plus VAT (£135–£525 including VAT for homeowners), using our Scotland guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
Can a bent bollard be straightened?
Only if the bend is slight and the steel has not creased or torn. A sharply bent post is weakened and should be replaced. Often the post is fine and it is the foundation that has moved, which re-bedding fixes.
Is a bollard repair visit free?
No. Repairs are paid visits, and we give you the price in writing before anyone attends. Sending photographs first helps us price accurately and bring the right parts.
