Permissions and groundwork in Hyde
In Hyde, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Tameside Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 (Tameside Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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. Many repairs are really foundation repairs.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
- 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.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
