Permissions and groundwork in Hindley
The highway authority for local roads in Hindley is Wigan 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.
If your site in Hindley is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Wigan 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.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
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.
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| 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. |
What moves the price in Hindley
Two Hindley jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Making safe before the replacement
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
Keeping them working
Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands. After replacement, look at why the post failed.
If posts in Hindley are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do you carry out replacement bollards in Hindley?
We cover all of Hindley (WN2) and the rest of Greater Manchester. We also work in Wigan, Westhoughton and Atherton.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Hindley?
Wigan Council is the highway authority covering Hindley's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
How much do replacement bollards cost in Hindley?
In Hindley, 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.
What happens to the old bollard?
It is taken away with the broken-out concrete. Steel and iron are recycled where possible. Original heritage bollards can be returned to you if you want to keep them.
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.
