Permissions and groundwork in Glasgow
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Glasgow means Glasgow City Council. Bollards on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
If your site in Glasgow is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Glasgow City Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. 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.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
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.
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
Pricing bollard repairs in Glasgow
Our Scotland guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Glasgow firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
Looking after them
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 Glasgow.
