Permissions and groundwork in Warwick
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority covering Warwick's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Warwick need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Warwickshire County Council before posts go in.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. 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.
- 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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
What moves the price in Warwick
When we price bollard repairs in Warwick, these make the biggest difference:
- Access, traffic management and working hours
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Type of repair and number of posts
Keeping them working
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 Warwick.
