Permissions and groundwork in Stockport
In Stockport, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Stockport Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Stockport is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Stockport 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.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.

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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
What moves the price in Stockport
Two Stockport jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Making safe before the main repair
Keeping them working
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. 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 Stockport, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
