Permissions and groundwork in Redditch
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Redditch's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Redditch) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
What moves the price in Redditch

After installation
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands.

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Redditch?
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Redditch's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
What's a typical price for replacement bollards in Redditch?
In Redditch, typically £215–£1,195 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£255–£1,445 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £445 plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Should we replace like-for-like or upgrade?

Can you provide paperwork for an insurance claim?
Yes. The written quote, photographs and itemised invoice are usually what an insurer asks for when recovering the cost from the driver responsible. We can provide them in the format your insurer needs.
