Before we dig in Coalville
The highway authority for local roads in Coalville is Leicestershire County 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.
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 (the council for North West Leicestershire) first — we flag this at survey.
Reinstatement matches what is there, whether tarmac, block paving, flags, resin or turf, though older or weathered surfaces may show a visible patch. 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.
- 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.
From survey to handover
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.
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. |
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
Pricing bollard repairs in Coalville
Our East Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Coalville firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
- Access, traffic management and working hours
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. Most repair call-outs come from small problems left too long.
