What we check first in Limavady
Across Northern Ireland the Department for Infrastructure's DfI Roads is the roads authority, so bollards on a public footway or road in Limavady need its agreement before anything is dug. Posts on your own land do not.
Planning in Northern Ireland sits with the councils, so for a listed building or conservation area in Limavady the planning team at Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council is the one to ask before posts go in.
Base-plate repairs depend on the slab: if the concrete has cracked or crumbled around the anchors, it is cut back and repaired before new fixings go in. Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; DfI Roads may need to authorise work or carry it out.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
What happens on site
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
What affects the quote
When we price bollard repairs in Limavady, these make the biggest difference:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
Looking after them
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 Limavady.
Bollard repairs in Limavady: FAQs
Do you carry out bollard repairs in Limavady?
We cover all of Limavady (BT49) and the rest of Causeway Coast and Glens. We also work in Coleraine and Derry/Londonderry.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Limavady?
Kerbside work in Limavady 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.
How much do bollard repairs cost in Limavady?
In Limavady, typically £115–£435 per visit, typically one to three posts, plus VAT (£135–£515 including VAT for homeowners), using our Northern Ireland guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
What happens if the crew finds more damage than expected?
They stop and tell you, and we price the extra work in writing. You decide whether to go ahead. Nothing beyond the agreed price is carried out without your approval.
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.
