Permissions and groundwork in Taunton
In Taunton, 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 Taunton 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.
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.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
From survey to handover
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
What affects the quote
Two Taunton jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Size and condition of the old foundation
Keeping them working
Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands. After replacement, look at why the post failed.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Taunton.
Questions about replacement bollards in Taunton
Which parts of Taunton do you cover for replacement bollards?
We cover all of Taunton (TA1, TA2 and TA3) and the rest of Somerset. We also work in Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea and Tiverton.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Taunton?
Somerset Council is the highway authority covering Taunton's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
What's a typical price for replacement bollards in Taunton?
In Taunton, 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 South West guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
A driver hit our bollard and left: what should we do?
Make the area safe, photograph the damage and report it if the post is on public land. Check whether CCTV covered the area. A written quote from us can then support any claim.
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.
