What we check first in Bordon
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Bordon'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 Bordon 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 East Hampshire 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. Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
- Do not keep a bollard in service with faulty or bypassed safety devices; make it safe and lock it down or out of use until repaired.
From survey to handover
Describe the fault
Tell us what the bollard is doing, any lights or messages on the controller, recent weather or roadworks, and send photographs of the bollard, pit and controller.
Diagnose the cause
Fault logs, loops, drive, electrics and pit are checked in turn to find the underlying cause rather than just the symptom.
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. |
Pricing auto bollard repairs in Bordon
Two Bordon jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- 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.
If posts in Bordon are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Our bollard rose under a car: what happens next?
Take it out of service and keep it lowered or secured. The safety loops, photocells and settings are checked to find out why it rose, and the damage is assessed. It should not return to use until the cause is fixed and the risk assessment reviewed.
Roadworks cut our loops: can they be replaced?
Yes. New loops are cut into the sound surface, connected and the detectors retuned. If the surface around them is damaged, it is repaired first so the new loops last.
