What we check first in Pudsey
Leeds City Council is the highway authority covering Pudsey'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 Pudsey 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 Leeds City Council before posts go in.
Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation. Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
From survey to handover
Survey and match
At the free site survey we measure the existing bollards, photograph the line and check the foundations. A fixed written quote sets out like-for-like and any upgrade options.
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 |
|---|---|
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| 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. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Pudsey
Our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Pudsey firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Surface type and reinstatement
After installation
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.
If posts in Pudsey are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Pudsey?
In Pudsey, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Leeds City 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 Pudsey?
In Pudsey, 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 a new bollard reuse the old foundation?
Sometimes, if the old foundation is sound and suits the new post. Foundations cracked by an impact are broken out. Rated bollards always need the manufacturer's tested foundation.
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.
