What we check first in Bromley
In Bromley, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Bromley Council, the local highway authority. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Bromley need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Bromley Council before posts go in.
Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation. Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation.
- 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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
What moves the price in Bromley
Two Bromley jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Making safe before the replacement
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Number of posts and the product chosen
Keeping them working
After replacement, look at why the post failed. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
For damaged or loose posts in Bromley, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
