What we check first in Tyldesley
In Tyldesley, 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.
If your site in Tyldesley 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.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. 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.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
From survey to handover
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.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |

Questions about replacement bollards in Tyldesley
Do you carry out replacement bollards in Tyldesley?
We cover all of Tyldesley (M29) and the rest of Greater Manchester. We also work in Atherton, Leigh and Walkden.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Tyldesley?
Wigan Council is the highway authority covering Tyldesley'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 Tyldesley?
In Tyldesley, 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.
