Permissions and groundwork in Leatherhead
The highway authority for local roads in Leatherhead 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.
Many private-land installations in Leatherhead need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Mole Valley before posts go in.
Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation. Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch.
- 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.
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.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| 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 Leatherhead
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Leatherhead firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Number of posts and the product chosen
Keeping them working
After replacement, look at why the post failed. 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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Leatherhead.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Leatherhead?

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 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.
