Rules for replacement bollards in England

Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first.

How installation works

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.

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.

Hand over records

Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.

Should we replace like-for-like or upgrade?

Like-for-like if the post was hit once in an unusual incident. Consider an upgrade if the same position is struck repeatedly or the post no longer suits how the site is used. The survey will show which makes sense.

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.
