Replacement bollards suit plenty of Dudley sites, high streets, college campuses and industrial estates among them. Replacement is the right answer when a post is too damaged to repair or no longer suits how the site is used.
We work across DY2 and DY1 — Dudley itself and places including Coseley and Sedgley. We also cover neighbouring Brierley Hill (2 miles), Tipton (2.1 miles), Kingswinford (3.6 miles) and Halesowen (3.8 miles) — distances are straight-line. Wolverhampton is around 6 miles away.

What we check first in Dudley
The highway authority for local roads in Dudley is Dudley 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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Dudley Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch. 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.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Dudley
When we price replacement bollards in Dudley, these make the biggest difference:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Making safe before the replacement
- Size and condition of the old foundation
Looking after them
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Dudley.

Can you replace just one bollard in a line?

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.
