Why Bognor Regis sites book replacement bollards
What replacement bollards usually sort out in Bognor Regis:

- Corroded steel posts at the end of their life
Permissions and groundwork in Bognor Regis
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Bognor Regis's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Bognor Regis need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Arun before posts go in.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation.
- 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.
From survey to handover
Survey and match
At the free site survey we measure the existing bollards, photograph the line and check the foundations. A fixed written quote sets out like-for-like and any upgrade options.
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
What affects the quote
Two Bognor Regis jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
After installation
After replacement, look at why the post failed. 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 Bognor Regis.
