Permissions and groundwork in Gerrards Cross
Buckinghamshire Council is the highway authority covering Gerrards Cross's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Gerrards Cross is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Buckinghamshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority 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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
What affects the quote
Two Gerrards Cross jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
- Making safe before the main repair
- Surface type and reinstatement
After installation
Most repair call-outs come from small problems left too long. 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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Gerrards Cross.
