Permissions and groundwork in Wednesbury
The highway authority for local roads in Wednesbury is Sandwell 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.
If your site in Wednesbury is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Sandwell Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
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.
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| 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. |
