Before we dig in Ealing
Ealing Council is the highway authority covering Ealing'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 (Ealing Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch. Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation.
- 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.
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
What affects the quote
Two Ealing 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
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
After installation
After replacement, look at why the post failed. 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 Ealing, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.

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.
