Common reasons for auto bollard repairs in Yateley
What auto bollard repairs usually sort out in Yateley:
- Bollards stuck in the raised or lowered position
- Slow, jerky or noisy rising and lowering
- Loops cut or damaged during resurfacing
What we check first in Yateley
In Yateley, 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.
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. Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
What moves the price in Yateley
Two Yateley 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. Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early.
For damaged or loose posts in Yateley, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Yateley?
The highway authority for local roads in Yateley is Hampshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.

Can you repair automatic bollards you did not install?
Yes, for common makes of hydraulic and electro-mechanical bollard. Some parts are proprietary and sourced through the manufacturer or distributor. Make and model details help us prepare.
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.
