Typical reasons for replacement bollards in Wellington:
- Single missing posts in an otherwise sound line
- Corroded steel posts at the end of their life
- Upgrading posts that keep being hit
Permissions and groundwork in Wellington
Telford and Wrekin Council is the highway authority covering Wellington's local roads. 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 (Telford and Wrekin Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. 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.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
What moves the price in Wellington
Two Wellington jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Making safe before the replacement
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Surface type and reinstatement
Looking after them
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. After replacement, look at why the post failed.
For damaged or loose posts in Wellington, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Common questions
Can you carry out replacement bollards anywhere in Wellington?
We cover all of Wellington (TF6) and the rest of Shropshire. We also work in Telford, Shrewsbury and Stafford.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Wellington?
The highway authority for local roads in Wellington is Telford and Wrekin 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.
What's a typical price for replacement bollards in Wellington?
In Wellington, 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 £445 plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
What happens to the old bollard?
It is taken away with the broken-out concrete. Steel and iron are recycled where possible. Original heritage bollards can be returned to you if you want to keep them.
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.
