Consents, ground and services in Stroud
The highway authority for local roads in Stroud is Gloucestershire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Stroud) first — we flag this at survey.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath.
- 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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
Pricing bollard repairs in Stroud

After installation
Most repair call-outs come from small problems left too long. 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.
For damaged or loose posts in Stroud, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Which parts of Stroud do you cover for bollard repairs?
We cover all of Stroud (GL5, GL6 and GL10) and the rest of Gloucestershire. We also work in Gloucester, Cirencester and Cheltenham.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Stroud?
Gloucestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Stroud's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.

In Stroud, typically £115–£445 per visit, typically one to three posts, plus VAT (£135–£525 including VAT for homeowners), using our South West 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.
Is a bollard repair visit free?
No. Repairs are paid visits, and we give you the price in writing before anyone attends. Sending photographs first helps us price accurately and bring the right parts.
