Typical replacement bollards requests in Maidenhead
What replacement bollards usually sort out in Maidenhead:
- Single missing posts in an otherwise sound line
- Posts bent, sheared or broken by vehicle impacts
- Replacing mixed, mismatched posts with a consistent line
Before we dig in Maidenhead
Windsor and Maidenhead Council is the highway authority covering Maidenhead's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Maidenhead 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 Windsor and Maidenhead Council before posts go in.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
From survey to handover
Make safe
If a broken post or stub is a hazard, it can be removed or capped first. That is priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
Survey and match
At the free site survey we measure the existing bollards, photograph the line and check the foundations. A fixed written quote sets out like-for-like and any upgrade options.
Remove the old bollard
The damaged post is cut or extracted and the old foundation broken out, checking for services as the hole is opened.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
