Before we dig in Aldershot
In Aldershot, 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.
If your site in Aldershot is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Rushmoor) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Servicing rarely needs excavation, but the condition of the ground around the bollard tells a lot about its health. Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.
- Have electrical faults and modifications handled by a qualified electrician, to BS 7671.
How the job runs
Tell us about the installation
Send the make and model if known, the number of bollards, how busy the entrance is and any current problems, with photographs of the bollards and controller.
Agree the visit or contract
We price a one-off visit or a contract in writing, with the visit frequency suggested for your usage. Nothing is booked until you have agreed it.
Plan around the entrance
Visits are planned to keep the entrance usable, usually servicing one lane or bollard at a time, with cones and staff on hand while a bollard is out of service.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Planned maintenance contract | Scheduled visits at agreed intervals, priced in writing, with a consistent record kept across visits. |
| Hydraulic servicing | Fluid, hoses, seals, pump and valve checks, with fluid topped up or changed as needed. |
| One-off service visit | A single paid service, useful for bollards with no recent history or before a decision about a contract. |
Pricing automatic bollard service visits in Aldershot
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Aldershot firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Access control equipment to be tested
- Traffic management needed on live roads
- Number of bollards and controllers
After installation
After snow, clear around the head before use. If the site changes how the entrance is used, such as longer opening hours or heavier delivery vehicles, mention it before the next visit so the service frequency and safety settings can be reconsidered.
If posts in Aldershot are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
