Consents, ground and services in Great Malvern
In Great Malvern, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Worcestershire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Great Malvern is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Malvern Hills) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch. 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.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
What happens on site
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Great Malvern
Two Great Malvern jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Making safe before the replacement
Looking after them
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Great Malvern.
