Consents, ground and services in Cheadle Hulme
Stockport Council is the highway authority covering Cheadle Hulme'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 Cheadle Hulme is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Stockport 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.
- 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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Cheadle Hulme
Two Cheadle Hulme jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Making safe before the replacement
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
After installation
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. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
If posts in Cheadle Hulme are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
