Permissions and groundwork in Tynemouth
North Tyneside Council is the highway authority covering Tynemouth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Tynemouth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (North Tyneside Council) 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. 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.
What happens on site
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
What moves the price in Tynemouth
When we price replacement bollards in Tynemouth, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Making safe before the replacement
Keeping them working
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. 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 Tynemouth, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Common questions
Can you carry out replacement bollards anywhere in Tynemouth?
We cover all of Tynemouth (NE30 and NE29) and the rest of Tyne and Wear. We also work in North Shields, South Shields and Whitley Bay.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Tynemouth?
In Tynemouth, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from North Tyneside Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do replacement bollards cost in Tynemouth?
In Tynemouth, typically £205–£1,145 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£245–£1,345 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £425 plus VAT, using our North East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
