Consents, ground and services in Banstead
In Banstead, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Banstead is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Reigate and Banstead) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
How the job runs
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
What moves the price in Banstead
Two Banstead jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Number of posts and the product chosen
After installation
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. After replacement, look at why the post failed.
If posts in Banstead are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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 a new bollard reuse the old foundation?
Sometimes, if the old foundation is sound and suits the new post. Foundations cracked by an impact are broken out. Rated bollards always need the manufacturer's tested foundation.
