Before we dig in Leatherhead
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Leatherhead's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Leatherhead is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Mole Valley) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks. 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.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
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.
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.
Diagnose the cause
Fault logs, loops, drive, electrics and pit are checked in turn to find the underlying cause rather than just the symptom.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
| Hydraulic repairs | Seals, hoses, valves, pumps and power packs, with fluid topped up or replaced and leaks cleaned up properly. |

What's a typical price for auto bollard repairs in Leatherhead?
In Leatherhead, typically £155–£2,645 per repair, from a diagnostic visit to a replacement hydraulic unit or head, plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
Why does our bollard rise and fall by itself?
Usually because a loop or its detector is faulty, or an access device is sending repeated signals. Damaged road surfaces and water in loop cuts are common causes. Diagnosis checks the loops first.
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.
