How installation works
Send photos and details
Tell us what has happened and send photographs of each affected post, close up and from a distance, with the location. That lets us identify the bollard type and the likely repair.
Receive a written price
We confirm the cost of the visit and the expected work in writing before anyone attends. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
Make safe if needed
Where a post is a hazard now, the first step can be to make it safe by removing or capping it, priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
Carry out the repair
The crew carries out the agreed work. If they find something different, such as a cracked slab under a base plate, they stop and we price the extra work in writing before continuing.
