Why Bromsgrove sites book bollard repairs
Typical reasons for bollard repairs in Bromsgrove:
- Telescopic posts that will not lower or lock
- Missing caps, worn paint and faded reflective bands
- Removable bollards with seized locks or damaged sockets
What we check first in Bromsgrove
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Bromsgrove's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Bromsgrove) first — we flag this at survey.
Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath. 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.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
- 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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
| 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 moves the price in Bromsgrove

Common questions
Can you carry out bollard repairs anywhere in Bromsgrove?
We cover all of Bromsgrove (B60, B61 and B48) and the rest of Worcestershire. We also work in Redditch, Droitwich and Halesowen.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Bromsgrove?
The highway authority for local roads in Bromsgrove is Worcestershire County 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.
What's a typical price for bollard repairs in Bromsgrove?
In Bromsgrove, 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.
