Why Bridgwater sites book replacement bollards
What replacement bollards usually sort out in Bridgwater:
- Crushed sockets and failed telescopic cassettes
- Single missing posts in an otherwise sound line
- Upgrading posts that keep being hit
Consents, ground and services in Bridgwater
In Bridgwater, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Somerset Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Bridgwater is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Somerset Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
What happens on site
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.
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. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
