Before we dig in Heywood
The highway authority for local roads in Heywood is Rochdale 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.
If your site in Heywood is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Rochdale Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Base-plate repairs depend on the slab: if the concrete has cracked or crumbled around the anchors, it is cut back and repaired before new fixings go in. Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further.
- 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.
How the job runs
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.
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. |
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
What affects the quote
Two Heywood jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
- Access, traffic management and working hours
Looking after them
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. Most repair call-outs come from small problems left too long.
For damaged or loose posts in Heywood, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
