Consents, ground and services in Burntwood
Staffordshire County Council is the highway authority covering Burntwood'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 (the council for Lichfield) first — we flag this at survey.
Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch. Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Burntwood
Two Burntwood jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Making safe before the replacement
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Burntwood.
Bollard replacement in Burntwood: FAQs
Do you carry out replacement bollards in Burntwood?
We cover all of Burntwood (WS7) and the rest of Staffordshire. We also work in Lichfield, Cannock and Aldridge.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Burntwood?
The highway authority for local roads in Burntwood is Staffordshire County 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 Burntwood?
In Burntwood, 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.
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.
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.
