Rules for replacement bollards in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first.

How installation works
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.
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.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in South Lanarkshire?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (South Lanarkshire Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
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.
Can you provide paperwork for an insurance claim?
Yes. The written quote, photographs and itemised invoice are usually what an insurer asks for when recovering the cost from the driver responsible. We can provide them in the format your insurer needs.
