Permissions and groundwork in Lytham St Annes
In Lytham St Annes, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Lancashire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Lytham St Annes is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Fylde) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath. 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.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
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.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| Caps, hinges and bands | Replacement caps and heads, hinge pins or assemblies on fold-down posts, and new reflective bands. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
