What we check first in Felling
The highway authority for local roads in Felling is Gateshead 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 Felling is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Gateshead Council) 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. 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.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
Pricing bollard repairs in Felling

- Surface type and reinstatement
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
Looking after them
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.
