Before we dig in Kirkcaldy
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Kirkcaldy means Fife Council. Bollards on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
If your site in Kirkcaldy is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Fife Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further. Many repairs are really foundation repairs.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
How the job runs
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.
Record and hand back
The repaired posts are checked, the surface is made good and photographs are sent so you have a record for your maintenance file.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
