Before we dig in Horley
The highway authority for local roads in Horley 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.
If your site in Horley 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.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. 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.
- 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.
What happens on site
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.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
What affects the quote
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Horley firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- 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. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
For damaged or loose posts in Horley, repairs and replacements are priced in writing 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.
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.
