Consents, ground and services in Tewkesbury
In Tewkesbury, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Gloucestershire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Tewkesbury is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Tewkesbury) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement matches what is there, whether tarmac, block paving, flags, resin or turf, though older or weathered surfaces may show a visible patch. 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; the highway 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.

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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |

| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| 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. |

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Tewkesbury?
The highway authority for local roads in Tewkesbury 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.
What's a typical price for bollard repairs in Tewkesbury?
In Tewkesbury, 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.
Can you free a seized removable bollard?
Usually, by working the lock free or drilling it out, then lifting the post and cleaning the socket. If the socket is crushed or corroded, it is cut out and replaced. A new lock and keys can be fitted at the same time.
Can a bent bollard be straightened?
Only if the bend is slight and the steel has not creased or torn. A sharply bent post is weakened and should be replaced. Often the post is fine and it is the foundation that has moved, which re-bedding fixes.
