What we check first in Hebburn
In Hebburn, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from South Tyneside Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Hebburn 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 South Tyneside Council before posts go in.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. If the old foundation is cracked from the impact, it is removed entirely; if it is sound and suits the new post, reuse can reduce disruption.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
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.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Hebburn
Two Hebburn jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products

Looking after them
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands.
