Before we dig in Sandhurst
Bracknell Forest Council is the highway authority covering Sandhurst's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Sandhurst is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Bracknell Forest Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation. Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
From survey to handover
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
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.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| 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. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Sandhurst
When we price replacement bollards in Sandhurst, these make the biggest difference:
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Making safe before the replacement
- Size and condition of the old foundation
Keeping them working
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. A single impact on a rarely struck post is bad luck; repeated strikes in the same spot point to a layout problem, such as a tight turn or a missing wheel stop, that a stronger bollard alone will not solve.
If posts in Sandhurst are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Which parts of Sandhurst do you cover for replacement bollards?
We cover all of Sandhurst (GU47) and the rest of Berkshire. We also work in Crowthorne, Yateley and Camberley.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Sandhurst?
The highway authority for local roads in Sandhurst is Bracknell Forest 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 replacement bollards cost in Sandhurst?
In Sandhurst, typically £225–£1,245 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£265–£1,495 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £465 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can you replace just one bollard in a line?
Yes. We measure and match the existing posts so the new one sits in line at the same height and finish. If the original product is no longer made, we show you a close equivalent first.
What happens to the old bollard?
It is taken away with the broken-out concrete. Steel and iron are recycled where possible. Original heritage bollards can be returned to you if you want to keep them.
