Why Coleraine sites book replacement bollards
What replacement bollards usually sort out in Coleraine:
- Cracked cast iron or chipped concrete bollards
- Corroded steel posts at the end of their life
- Replacing mixed, mismatched posts with a consistent line
Consents, ground and services in Coleraine
In Coleraine, as everywhere in Northern Ireland, public roads and footways are looked after by DfI Roads rather than the council. If a post would sit on adopted footway, that consent comes first; private forecourts and car parks are a matter for the owner.
If your site in Coleraine is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
If the old foundation is cracked from the impact, it is removed entirely; if it is sound and suits the new post, reuse can reduce disruption. Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
What happens on site
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
What affects the quote
Two Coleraine jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
After installation
After replacement, look at why the post failed. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
If posts in Coleraine are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
