What we check first in Whitley Bay
In Whitley Bay, 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.
If your site in Whitley Bay 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. Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
What affects the quote

- Making safe before the replacement
Looking after them
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. After replacement, look at why the post failed.
For damaged or loose posts in Whitley Bay, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
