What we check first in Worthing
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Worthing'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 Worthing 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 Worthing before posts go in.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. 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
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.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
What affects the quote
When we price replacement bollards in Worthing, these make the biggest difference:
- Making safe before the replacement
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
Keeping them working
Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
For damaged or loose posts in Worthing, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Bollard replacement in Worthing: FAQs
Can you carry out replacement bollards anywhere in Worthing?
We cover all of Worthing (BN11, BN14, BN13 and BN12) and the rest of West Sussex. We also work in Littlehampton, Portslade and Hove.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Worthing?
In Worthing, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from West Sussex County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do replacement bollards cost in Worthing?
In Worthing, 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.
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.
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.
