Before we dig in Hull
Hull City Council is the highway authority covering Hull'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 Hull 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 Hull City Council before posts go in.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. 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.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
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.
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
What moves the price in Hull
Two Hull jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
Keeping them working
After replacement, look at why the post failed. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
For damaged or loose posts in Hull, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
