Consents, ground and services in Stourbridge
In Stourbridge, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Dudley Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Stourbridge 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 Dudley Council before posts go in.
Reinstatement matches what is there, whether tarmac, block paving, flags, resin or turf, though older or weathered surfaces may show a visible patch. 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.
Installation, step by step
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.
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. |
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
What affects the quote
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Stourbridge firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
- Access, traffic management and working hours
- Making safe before the main repair
Looking after 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. 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 Stourbridge.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Stourbridge?
The highway authority for local roads in Stourbridge 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 Stourbridge?
In Stourbridge, 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 free a seized removable bollard?
Usually, by working the lock free or drilling it out, then lifting the post and cleaning the socket. If the socket is crushed or corroded, it is cut out and replaced. A new lock and keys can be fitted at the same time.
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.
