Before we dig in Bromsgrove
The highway authority for local roads in Bromsgrove is Worcestershire County 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.
Many private-land installations in Bromsgrove 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 the council for Bromsgrove before posts go in.
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. 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.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| 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. |
What moves the price in Bromsgrove
When we price replacement bollards in Bromsgrove, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Size and condition of the old foundation
Looking after them
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 Bromsgrove are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

What happens to the old bollard?
It is taken away with the broken-out concrete. Steel and iron are recycled where possible. Original heritage bollards can be returned to you if you want to keep them.

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.
