Permissions and groundwork in Leigh
The highway authority for local roads in Leigh 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 Leigh 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.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
What happens on site
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
What affects the quote
Our North West guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Leigh firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Size and condition of the old foundation
Keeping them working
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. After replacement, look at why the post failed.
For damaged or loose posts in Leigh, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Leigh?
In Leigh, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Wigan Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.

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.
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.
