Permissions and groundwork in Aldridge
Walsall Council is the highway authority covering Aldridge's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Aldridge is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Walsall 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.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
Installation, step by step
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
What affects the quote
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Aldridge firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Surface type and reinstatement
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 Aldridge.
