Before we dig in Dungannon
Across Northern Ireland the Department for Infrastructure's DfI Roads is the roads authority, so removable bollards on a public footway or road in Dungannon need its agreement before anything is dug. Posts on your own land do not.
Many private-land installations in Dungannon 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 Mid Ulster District Council before posts go in.
The critical details are level and drainage. On block paving, the socket is set before the blocks are cut to it, so the pattern finishes cleanly.
- On emergency access routes, agree with the fire service how they will remove the posts, such as standard keys or bolt croppers on padlocks.
- Keep a clear route of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm between posts on pedestrian routes, and check against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
Installation, step by step
Agree who will lift the post
At the free site survey we talk through who will remove the post, how often and where it will be stored. That decides material, diameter and lock, and goes into a fixed written quote.
Set the socket flush
The socket is set in concrete with its rim exactly at finished surface level and to the fall of the ground, so the lid sits flat and nothing catches on it.
Fit posts and hand over keys
Posts are fitted and locked, and the lift-out and refit routine is checked on site. Keys and any storage brackets are handed over.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Rated removable posts | Crash-tested removable models exist for security lines; they use heavier sockets and tested foundations. |
| Diameter and height | Commonly 76–140 mm diameter and around 900–1,000 mm high, chosen to suit visibility and handling. |
| Steel, stainless or aluminium posts | Galvanised and powder-coated steel for robustness, stainless for appearance, aluminium where lightness matters for frequent lifting. |
What moves the price in Dungannon
When we price removable bollards in Dungannon, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of posts and sockets
- Rated removable posts where security is required
- Lock type and whether locks are keyed alike
Looking after them
If a socket has worked loose in the surface, re-bed it before the lid edge becomes a trip hazard. Lubricate locks a few times a year with a graphite or lock-specific spray, lift the posts out periodically even if they are not needed, and clear the socket of debris.
For damaged or loose posts in Dungannon, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Removable bollards in Dungannon: FAQs
Do you install removable bollards in Dungannon?
We cover all of Dungannon (BT71 and BT70) and the rest of Mid Ulster. We also work in Cookstown, Armagh and Portadown.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Dungannon?
Kerbside work in Dungannon is a DfI Roads question: the Department for Infrastructure is the roads authority for Northern Ireland, and its permission is needed for anything placed in the public road or footway.
How much do removable bollards cost in Dungannon?
In Dungannon, typically £245–£825 per bollard with ground socket, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£285–£985 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our Northern Ireland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can all the bollards on our site use one key?
Yes, if the locks are ordered keyed alike. That is common on estates and car parks with several access points. Spare keys can be supplied at the same time.
Where do we keep the post when it is removed?
Somewhere it cannot become a trip hazard or be taken. A wall-mounted storage bracket or a locked store nearby works well. Leaving posts lying on the ground is how they get damaged or lost.
