Common reasons for automatic bollard service visits in Bordon

- Pedestrianised zones with rising bollards for deliveries
Permissions and groundwork 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.
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 East Hampshire) first — we flag this at survey.
Silt and grit washed in from the surrounding road are a steady source of wear, so where the road drains towards the bollard, a small change such as a channel or gully nearby can reduce how much debris reaches the pit. 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.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
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.
Report and recommend
You receive a written report of what was checked and found. Any repair needed is quoted separately in writing for your approval.
Options to consider
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Bordon firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Access control equipment to be tested
- Rated bollards with manufacturer-specified procedures
- Traffic management needed on live roads
Looking after them
After snow, clear around the head before use. If the road around the bollard is being resurfaced, tell us beforehand so loops and ducts can be protected or reinstated.
If posts in Bordon are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
