Before we dig in Caterham
In Caterham, 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 Caterham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Tandridge) 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. Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
- 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
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.
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.
Specification choices
| 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. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Caterham
When we price replacement bollards in Caterham, these make the biggest difference:
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Surface type and reinstatement
Looking after them
Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands. 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 Caterham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Bollard replacement in Caterham: FAQs
Do you carry out replacement bollards in Caterham?
We cover all of Caterham (CR3, CR6, RH9 and RH8) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Redhill, Croydon and Banstead.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Caterham?
The highway authority for local roads in Caterham is Surrey 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 Caterham?
In Caterham, typically £245–£1,395 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£285–£1,645 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £505 plus VAT, using our London guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
