Before we dig in Dudley
Dudley Council is the highway authority covering Dudley'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 Dudley is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Dudley Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
What happens on site
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Caps, hinges and bands | Replacement caps and heads, hinge pins or assemblies on fold-down posts, and new reflective bands. |
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
What moves the price in Dudley
Two Dudley jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
Keeping them working
Most repair call-outs come from small problems left too long. 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 Dudley.
Common questions
Which parts of Dudley do you cover for bollard repairs?
We cover all of Dudley (DY2 and DY1) and the rest of West Midlands. We also work in Brierley Hill, Tipton and Kingswinford.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Dudley?
The highway authority for local roads in Dudley is Dudley 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.
How much do bollard repairs cost in Dudley?
In Dudley, 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.
What happens if the crew finds more damage than expected?
They stop and tell you, and we price the extra work in writing. You decide whether to go ahead. Nothing beyond the agreed price is carried out without your approval.
