What we check first in Havant
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Havant'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 Havant is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Havant) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base. Servicing rarely needs excavation, but the condition of the ground around the bollard tells a lot about its health.
- Test emergency service access arrangements periodically and after any change to the controls.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| One-off service visit | A single paid service, useful for bollards with no recent history or before a decision about a contract. |
| Safety and access testing | Loops, photocells, lights, manual release, emergency functions and access control inputs tested on every visit. |
| Hydraulic servicing | Fluid, hoses, seals, pump and valve checks, with fluid topped up or changed as needed. |
What affects the quote
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Havant firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of bollards and controllers
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Access control equipment to be tested
Keeping them working
Between service visits, site staff can do a lot to keep bollards reliable: keep the head and surrounding road clear of leaves and grit, report any change in speed, noise or behaviour, keep a note of faults with the date and time, and never bypass or disconnect safety devices to keep an entrance open. After snow, clear around the head before use.
If posts in Havant are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
