Permissions and groundwork in Cannock
In Cannock, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Staffordshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 Cannock Chase) first — we flag this at survey.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
How the job runs
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.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Cannock
When we price replacement bollards in Cannock, these make the biggest difference:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Making safe before the replacement
Looking after them
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. 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.
For damaged or loose posts in Cannock, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
