What we check first in Whitefield
In Whitefield, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Bury Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Bury Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. 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.
- 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
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |

Questions about replacement bollards in Whitefield
Do you carry out replacement bollards in Whitefield?
We cover all of Whitefield (M45) and the rest of Greater Manchester. We also work in Prestwich, Radcliffe and Bury.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Whitefield?
Bury Council is the highway authority covering Whitefield'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 Whitefield?
In Whitefield, 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 a new bollard reuse the old foundation?
Sometimes, if the old foundation is sound and suits the new post. Foundations cracked by an impact are broken out. Rated bollards always need the manufacturer's tested foundation.
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.
