What we check first in Ealing
In Ealing, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Ealing Council, the local highway authority. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 (Ealing Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
From survey to handover
Make safe if needed
Where a post is a hazard now, the first step can be to make it safe by removing or capping it, priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
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 |
|---|---|
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
When we price bollard repairs in Ealing, these make the biggest difference:
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Making safe before the main repair
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
Looking after them
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Ealing.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Ealing?

How much do bollard repairs cost in Ealing?
In Ealing, typically £135–£515 per visit, typically one to three posts, plus VAT (£155–£615 including VAT for homeowners), using our London guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
What happens if the crew finds more damage than expected?
They stop and tell you, and we price the extra work in writing. You decide whether to go ahead. Nothing beyond the agreed price is carried out without your approval.
Can you free a seized removable bollard?
Usually, by working the lock free or drilling it out, then lifting the post and cleaning the socket. If the socket is crushed or corroded, it is cut out and replaced. A new lock and keys can be fitted at the same time.
