What we check first in Largs
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Largs means North Ayrshire Council. Bollards on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
Bollards on private land often need no planning application, but listed buildings and conservation areas are different; the planning service at North Ayrshire Council can confirm before anything is ordered.
If the old foundation is cracked from the impact, it is removed entirely; if it is sound and suits the new post, reuse can reduce disruption. Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
From survey to handover
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.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
What moves the price in Largs
Two Largs jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Making safe before the replacement
- Number of posts and the product chosen
After installation
After replacement, look at why the post failed. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
If posts in Largs are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
