Consents, ground and services in Omagh
Kerbside work in Omagh is a DfI Roads question: the Department for Infrastructure is the roads authority for Northern Ireland, and its permission is needed for anything placed in the public road or footway.
Planning in Northern Ireland sits with the councils, so for a listed building or conservation area in Omagh the planning team at Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is the one to ask before posts go in.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. Where a replacement is being made after an impact, the surrounding paving and kerbs are checked as well, because a vehicle that bent a post has often lifted or cracked the surface beside it, and that damage is included in the quote rather than left for later.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
- On public highway, DfI Roads may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
What happens on site
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.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| 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. |

Common questions
Which parts of Omagh do you cover for replacement bollards?
We cover all of Omagh (BT78 and BT79) and the rest of Fermanagh and Omagh. We also work in Strabane.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Omagh?
Across Northern Ireland the Department for Infrastructure's DfI Roads is the roads authority, so bollards on a public footway or road in Omagh need its agreement before anything is dug. Posts on your own land do not.
What's a typical price for replacement bollards in Omagh?
In Omagh, typically £215–£1,195 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£255–£1,445 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £435 plus VAT, using our Northern Ireland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can you provide paperwork for an insurance claim?
Yes. The written quote, photographs and itemised invoice are usually what an insurer asks for when recovering the cost from the driver responsible. We can provide them in the format your insurer needs.
Should we replace like-for-like or upgrade?
Like-for-like if the post was hit once in an unusual incident. Consider an upgrade if the same position is struck repeatedly or the post no longer suits how the site is used. The survey will show which makes sense.
