Permissions and groundwork in Lambeth
Lambeth Council is the highway authority covering Lambeth's local roads. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 (Lambeth Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further. 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.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
Pricing bollard repairs in Lambeth
When we price bollard repairs in Lambeth, these make the biggest difference:
- Access, traffic management and working hours
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
Looking after 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. 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.
If posts in Lambeth are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Bollard repairs in Lambeth: FAQs
Do you carry out bollard repairs in Lambeth?
We cover all of Lambeth (SW4, SW9, SW2, SE24, SW8 and SE11) and the rest of London. We also work in Southwark, Wandsworth and Westminster.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Lambeth?
In Lambeth, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Lambeth 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.
What's a typical price for bollard repairs in Lambeth?
In Lambeth, 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.
Why does our base-plated bollard keep working loose?
Usually because the anchors are in weak, cracked or thin concrete, or too close to an edge or joint. Re-tightening does not last. New anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate or a slab repair is the lasting fix.
Can you repair a bollard we did not install?
Yes. We repair fixed, removable, telescopic, fold-down and other manual bollards whoever installed them. Photographs help us identify the type and find matching parts.
