Permissions and groundwork in Yeadon
The highway authority for local roads in Yeadon 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.
Many private-land installations in Yeadon 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 Leeds City Council before posts go in.
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.
- 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
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| 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 Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Yeadon firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Making safe before the main repair
- Access, traffic management and working hours
- Surface type and reinstatement
After installation
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.
If posts in Yeadon are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
