Consents, ground and services in Coventry
The highway authority for local roads in Coventry is Coventry City 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 Coventry is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Coventry City 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. 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.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
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.
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| 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 moves the price in Coventry
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Coventry firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Making safe before the main repair
After installation
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.
For damaged or loose posts in Coventry, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

In Coventry, 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.
Can a bent bollard be straightened?
Only if the bend is slight and the steel has not creased or torn. A sharply bent post is weakened and should be replaced. Often the post is fine and it is the foundation that has moved, which re-bedding fixes.
