Permissions and groundwork in Crawley
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Crawley'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 Crawley is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Crawley) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
From survey to handover
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.
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. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
What moves the price in Crawley
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Crawley firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Making safe before the replacement
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
After installation
Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands. After replacement, look at why the post failed.
If posts in Crawley are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Questions about replacement bollards in Crawley
Can you carry out replacement bollards anywhere in Crawley?
We cover all of Crawley (RH11 and RH10) and the rest of West Sussex. We also work in Horley, Horsham and East Grinstead.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Crawley?
The highway authority for local roads in Crawley is West Sussex County 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.
How much do replacement bollards cost in Crawley?
In Crawley, typically £225–£1,245 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£265–£1,495 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £465 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Should we replace like-for-like or upgrade?
Like-for-like if the post was hit once in an unusual incident. Consider an upgrade if the same position is struck repeatedly or the post no longer suits how the site is used. The survey will show which makes sense.
Can you replace just one bollard in a line?
Yes. We measure and match the existing posts so the new one sits in line at the same height and finish. If the original product is no longer made, we show you a close equivalent first.
