Before we dig in Newry
Across Northern Ireland the Department for Infrastructure's DfI Roads is the roads authority, so bollards on a public footway or road in Newry need its agreement before anything is dug. Posts on your own land do not.
If your site in Newry is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Newry, Mourne and Down District Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- On public highway, DfI Roads 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.
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.

| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |

What moves the price in Newry
When we price replacement bollards in Newry, these make the biggest difference:
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Surface type and reinstatement
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.
If posts in Newry are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
