Permissions and groundwork in Cleethorpes
North East Lincolnshire Council is the highway authority covering Cleethorpes's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Cleethorpes is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (North East Lincolnshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
What affects the quote
Our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Cleethorpes firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Making safe before the replacement
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Size and condition of the old foundation
After installation
After replacement, look at why the post failed. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
If posts in Cleethorpes are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.

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.
