Consents, ground and services in Nottingham
The highway authority for local roads in Nottingham is Nottingham City Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Nottingham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Nottingham City Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation. Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
- 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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| 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
Two Nottingham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
Keeping them working
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. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
For damaged or loose posts in Nottingham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Bollard replacement in Nottingham: FAQs
Can you carry out replacement bollards anywhere in Nottingham?

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Nottingham?
In Nottingham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Nottingham City Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do replacement bollards cost in Nottingham?
In Nottingham, typically £215–£1,195 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£255–£1,445 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £435 plus VAT, using our East Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
Can you replace just one bollard in a line?
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.
