What we check first in Fleet
In Fleet, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hampshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 Hart) first — we flag this at survey.
Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground. 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.
- 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.
What happens on site
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.
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.
Test and report
After the repair, every safety device and access input is tested with vehicles, and you receive a written report of the fault, cause and work done.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
What affects the quote
When we price auto bollard repairs in Fleet, these make the biggest difference:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
Looking after them
Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early. Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run.
If posts in Fleet are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
