Consents, ground and services in Portadown
Kerbside work in Portadown is a DfI Roads question: the Department for Infrastructure is the roads authority for Northern Ireland, and its permission is needed for anything placed in the public road or footway.
If your site in Portadown is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
How the job runs
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.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Caps, hinges and bands | Replacement caps and heads, hinge pins or assemblies on fold-down posts, and new reflective bands. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Portadown?

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.

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.
