Common reasons for replacement bollards in Brent
Typical reasons for replacement bollards in Brent:
- Cracked cast iron or chipped concrete bollards
- Crushed sockets and failed telescopic cassettes
- Posts bent, sheared or broken by vehicle impacts
Before we dig in Brent
Brent Council is the highway authority covering Brent's local roads. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 (Brent Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. Where a replacement is being made after an impact, the surrounding paving and kerbs are checked as well, because a vehicle that bent a post has often lifted or cracked the surface beside it, and that damage is included in the quote rather than left for later.
- 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.
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. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
What affects the quote
When we price replacement bollards in Brent, these make the biggest difference:
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Size and condition of the old foundation
Looking after them
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. Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Brent.
Common questions
Do you carry out replacement bollards in Brent?
We cover all of Brent (HA9, HA0, NW9, NW10 and NW2) and the rest of London. We also work in Ealing, Harrow and Barnet.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Brent?

How much do replacement bollards cost in Brent?
In Brent, typically £245–£1,395 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£285–£1,645 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £505 plus VAT, using our London guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can you provide paperwork for an insurance claim?
Yes. The written quote, photographs and itemised invoice are usually what an insurer asks for when recovering the cost from the driver responsible. We can provide them in the format your insurer needs.
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.
