Permissions and groundwork in Deal
Kent County Council is the highway authority covering Deal's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Deal is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Dover) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
Installation, step by step
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
