Consents, ground and services in Bishopbriggs
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Bishopbriggs means East Dunbartonshire Council. Bollards on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
Bollards on private land often need no planning application, but listed buildings and conservation areas are different; the planning service at East Dunbartonshire Council can confirm before anything is ordered.
Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath. Reinstatement matches what is there, whether tarmac, block paving, flags, resin or turf, though older or weathered surfaces may show a visible patch.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the roads authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Finishes and options

|---|---|
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Bishopbriggs?
Bishopbriggs falls under East Dunbartonshire 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.
What's a typical price for bollard repairs in Bishopbriggs?
In Bishopbriggs, 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.
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.
