Consents, ground and services in Leeds
Leeds City Council is the highway authority covering Leeds'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 Leeds is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Leeds City Council) 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. Where a replacement is being made after an impact, the surrounding paving and kerbs are checked as well, because a vehicle that bent a post has often lifted or cracked the surface beside it, and that damage is included in the quote rather than left for later.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
How the job runs
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.
Specification choices
| 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. |
