What we check first in Bradford
The highway authority for local roads in Bradford is Bradford 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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Bradford Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. 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.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
Installation, step by step
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.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
What affects the quote
Two Bradford jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Surface type and reinstatement
After installation
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bradford.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Bradford?
In Bradford, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Bradford Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
What's a typical price for replacement bollards in Bradford?
In Bradford, typically £205–£1,145 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£245–£1,345 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £425 plus VAT, using our Yorkshire and the Humber 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.
A driver hit our bollard and left: what should we do?
Make the area safe, photograph the damage and report it if the post is on public land. Check whether CCTV covered the area. A written quote from us can then support any claim.
