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.
Access control adds duct runs, pedestals and loops to a bollard installation, and each means cutting into the surface. Pedestals need small concrete bases set plumb so readers stay at the right height.
- Have power and data installations certified by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- Keep access requests and safety devices separate, so an access device can never force a bollard to rise while a vehicle is over it.
What happens on site
Understand the users
At the free site survey we ask who uses the entrance, how many, how often they change, and how visitors and deliveries arrive. That decides the entry method, and a fixed written quote follows.
Wire and connect
A qualified electrician installs power, and devices are connected to the bollard controller and to any network or building system.
Programme and test
Users, plates, codes and schedules are entered, and every entry and exit route is tested with vehicles, including what happens when access is refused.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| ANPR cameras | Read number plates and compare them with an approved list. Suited to large user groups and hands-free entry; needs careful camera placement and lighting. |
| Remote handsets and app control | Handsets for small user groups; app control for sites that want to add and remove users from a phone. |
| Exit loops and timers | Loops lower the bollard for vehicles leaving; timers hold it down during set windows. |
What moves the price in Leatherhead
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Leatherhead firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Duct lengths and surface reinstatement
- Number of users and how they will be managed
- Pedestals, lighting for cameras and signage
Looking after them
Test exit loops and emergency overrides at each service visit. Access control needs housekeeping as much as hardware care.
If posts in Leatherhead are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Often, yes, if the bollard controller can accept the new devices. We check the existing controller and cabling first. Very old controllers sometimes need replacing at the same time.
