Before we dig in Hyde
In Hyde, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Tameside Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Hyde need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Tameside Council before posts go in.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. 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.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
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.
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
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 |
|---|---|
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
What moves the price in Hyde
Two Hyde jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
Keeping them working
After replacement, look at why the post failed. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
For damaged or loose posts in Hyde, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
