Before we dig in Heywood
Rochdale Council is the highway authority covering Heywood'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 Heywood is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Rochdale Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch.
- 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
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.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
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 |
|---|---|
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
What affects the quote
Two Heywood jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Number of posts and the product chosen
After installation
After replacement, look at why the post failed. 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.
For damaged or loose posts in Heywood, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Bollard replacement in Heywood: FAQs
Which parts of Heywood do you cover for replacement bollards?
We cover all of Heywood (OL10) and the rest of Greater Manchester. We also work in Middleton, Rochdale and Bury.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Heywood?
In Heywood, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Rochdale Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do replacement bollards cost in Heywood?
In Heywood, 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 North West guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can you replace just one bollard in a line?
Yes. We measure and match the existing posts so the new one sits in line at the same height and finish. If the original product is no longer made, we show you a close equivalent first.
A driver hit our bollard and left: what should we do?
Make the area safe, photograph the damage and report it if the post is on public land. Check whether CCTV covered the area. A written quote from us can then support any claim.
