Before we dig in Bordon
In Bordon, 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 Bordon is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for East Hampshire) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Foundations are rarely the size anyone expects. Older bollards may sit in large blocks of concrete, and rated bollards in very large reinforced bases, so full extraction can mean substantial breaking out and spoil removal.
- In conservation areas, check before removing historic bollards, as consent may be needed or retention expected.
- Check whether the bollards were required by a planning condition, lease, security plan or the highway authority before removing them.
Installation, step by step
Survey what is in the ground
The free site survey identifies bollard types, likely foundation sizes, any power or ducts, and what the area will be used for next. You receive a fixed written quote for the agreed level of removal.
Check consents and reasons
Before removal, check whether the bollards were required by a planning condition, a lease, a security plan or the highway authority, and whether they protect something such as a meter or a building corner.
Remove posts and foundations
Posts are cut off or extracted, foundations broken out where agreed, and sockets, cassettes and ducts removed or capped.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cut off below surface | Post removed at or below finished level, foundation left in place and the surface patched. Quick and low-disruption. |
| Relocation | Careful removal of reusable posts and reinstallation in new positions on the same site. |
| Automatic bollard decommissioning | Electrical isolation, hydraulic drain-down, cassette removal and capping of ducts. |
Pricing bollard removal jobs in Bordon
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Bordon firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Size of foundations and amount of spoil
- Electrical isolation and hydraulic drain-down
- Number and type of bollards
Keeping them working
After removal, keep an eye on reinstated areas for settlement over the following months, particularly where large foundations were broken out. Where cables were terminated rather than removed, record where they are and confirm with the electrician that they are dead and labelled.
For damaged or loose posts in Bordon, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Common questions
Do you carry out bollard removal jobs in Bordon?
We cover all of Bordon (GU35, GU30, GU33 and GU34) and the rest of Hampshire. We also work in Farnham, Aldershot and Fleet.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway 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.
How much do bollard removal jobs cost in Bordon?
In Bordon, typically £85–£365 per post removed with footing, surface made good, plus VAT (£95–£435 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £305 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can removed bollards be reused elsewhere on site?
Often, if they come out undamaged. Steel posts and removable bollards relocate well. New foundations are formed at the new positions.
Can automatic bollards be removed safely?
Yes, once the supply has been isolated and disconnected by a qualified electrician and any hydraulic fluid drained. The cassette is then lifted and the pit backfilled. Ducts are capped or removed.
