What we check first in Bromley
The highway authority for local roads in Bromley is Bromley Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Many private-land installations in Bromley need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Bromley Council before posts go in.
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.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
What affects the quote
When we price bollard repairs in Bromley, these make the biggest difference:
- Making safe before the main repair
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
- Access, traffic management and working hours
After installation
Most repair call-outs come from small problems left too long. 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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bromley.
