Consents, ground and services in Leominster
The highway authority for local roads in Leominster is Herefordshire 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.
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 (Herefordshire Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation. 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.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
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.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
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. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
What affects the quote
Two Leominster jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Making safe before the replacement
After installation
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. 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.
For damaged or loose posts in Leominster, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Bollard replacement in Leominster: FAQs
Do you carry out replacement bollards in Leominster?

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Leominster?
Herefordshire Council is the highway authority covering Leominster'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 Leominster?
In Leominster, 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 £445 plus VAT, using our West Midlands 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 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.
