Consents, ground and services in Yeadon
The highway authority for local roads in Yeadon is Leeds City 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.
If your site in Yeadon 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.
Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation. Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size.
- 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.

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.
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.
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.

What moves the price in Yeadon
When we price replacement bollards in Yeadon, these make the biggest difference:
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Surface type and reinstatement
Keeping them working
After replacement, look at why the post failed. 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.
For damaged or loose posts in Yeadon, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Yeadon?

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.
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.
