What we check first in Craigavon
Across Northern Ireland the Department for Infrastructure's DfI Roads is the roads authority, so bollards on a public footway or road in Craigavon need its agreement before anything is dug. Posts on your own land do not.
Many private-land installations in Craigavon 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 Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council before posts go in.
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.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; DfI Roads may need to authorise work or carry it out.
Installation, step by step
Send photos and details
Tell us what has happened and send photographs of each affected post, close up and from a distance, with the location. That lets us identify the bollard type and the likely repair.
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.
Carry out the repair
The crew carries out the agreed work. If they find something different, such as a cracked slab under a base plate, they stop and we price the extra work in writing before continuing.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
What affects the quote
Our Northern Ireland guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Craigavon firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
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.
For damaged or loose posts in Craigavon, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Why does our base-plated bollard keep working loose?
Usually because the anchors are in weak, cracked or thin concrete, or too close to an edge or joint. Re-tightening does not last. New anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate or a slab repair is the lasting fix.
Can you repair a bollard we did not install?
Yes. We repair fixed, removable, telescopic, fold-down and other manual bollards whoever installed them. Photographs help us identify the type and find matching parts.
