Consents, ground and services in Aldershot
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Aldershot's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Aldershot 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 Rushmoor before posts go in.
Pits flood when drains silt up, soakaways fail or pipes collapse, and the repair may involve jetting or relaying a drain as well as replacing water-damaged parts. 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.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
How the job runs
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.
Choosing the right spec
| 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. |
| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
What affects the quote
Two Aldershot jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
- Parts required and their availability
Looking after them
After a repair, consider a planned maintenance arrangement if the bollard has no service history. Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Aldershot.
