Why Dewsbury sites book replacement bollards
Why sites in Dewsbury book replacement bollards:

- Posts bent, sheared or broken by vehicle impacts
Before we dig in Dewsbury
Kirklees Council is the highway authority covering Dewsbury'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 Dewsbury is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Kirklees Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
Installation, step by step
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.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
What affects the quote
Our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Dewsbury firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Making safe before the replacement
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
Keeping them working
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. A single impact on a rarely struck post is bad luck; repeated strikes in the same spot point to a layout problem, such as a tight turn or a missing wheel stop, that a stronger bollard alone will not solve.
If posts in Dewsbury are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
