Before we dig in Kingswinford
Dudley Council is the highway authority covering Kingswinford'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 Kingswinford is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Dudley 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. 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.
- 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.
Installation, step by step
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.
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. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Two Kingswinford jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Making safe before the replacement
After installation
After replacement, look at why the post failed. Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands.
For damaged or loose posts in Kingswinford, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
