Before we dig in Hazel Grove
The highway authority for local roads in Hazel Grove is Stockport 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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Stockport Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation. Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
What happens on site
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| 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. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Hazel Grove
Two Hazel Grove jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Size and condition of the old foundation
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. Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands.
For damaged or loose posts in Hazel Grove, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
