Consents, ground and services in Burntwood
The highway authority for local roads in Burntwood is Staffordshire 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.
If your site in Burntwood is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Lichfield) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further. Reinstatement matches what is there, whether tarmac, block paving, flags, resin or turf, though older or weathered surfaces may show a visible patch.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
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.
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.
Specification choices

| Caps, hinges and bands | Replacement caps and heads, hinge pins or assemblies on fold-down posts, and new reflective bands. |
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
What affects the quote
When we price bollard repairs in Burntwood, these make the biggest difference:
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
- Making safe before the main repair
Keeping them working
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 Burntwood.
Common questions
Can you carry out bollard repairs anywhere in Burntwood?
We cover all of Burntwood (WS7) and the rest of Staffordshire. We also work in Lichfield, Cannock and Aldridge.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Burntwood?
Staffordshire County Council is the highway authority covering Burntwood's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
How much do bollard repairs cost in Burntwood?
In Burntwood, typically £115–£445 per visit, typically one to three posts, plus VAT (£135–£525 including VAT for homeowners), using our West Midlands guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
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.
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.
