What we check first in Leeds
The highway authority for local roads in Leeds is Leeds 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 Leeds is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Leeds 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.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
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.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| 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 Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Leeds firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
- Access, traffic management and working hours
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. Most repair call-outs come from small problems left too long.
For damaged or loose posts in Leeds, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
