Before we dig in Hull
In Hull, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hull City Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Hull 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 Hull City Council before posts go in.
Loops fail when surfaces crack, sink or are patched; replacing a loop in a broken surface without repairing the surface first just leads to another failure. Where a vehicle impact has cracked the cassette's foundation, the concrete may need breaking out and recasting before the bollard can safely return to use.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
From survey to handover
Agree the visit price
We confirm the cost of the diagnostic and repair visit in writing. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
Make the entrance safe
On arrival, the crew makes the bollard and entrance safe, lowering or securing it as agreed with you and coning the area.
Quote and repair
Simple faults within the visit are fixed on the day. Where parts or further work are needed, we quote them in writing and complete the repair once approved.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Hydraulic repairs | Seals, hoses, valves, pumps and power packs, with fluid topped up or replaced and leaks cleaned up properly. |
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
What moves the price in Hull

- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
Keeping them working
Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run. After a repair, consider a planned maintenance arrangement if the bollard has no service history.
If posts in Hull are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
