What we check first in Shrewsbury
In Shrewsbury, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Shropshire Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Shrewsbury is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Shropshire Council) 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. 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
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.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
