What we check first in Eastbourne
East Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Eastbourne'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 Eastbourne is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Eastbourne) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
What happens on site
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.
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.
Record and hand back
The repaired posts are checked, the surface is made good and photographs are sent so you have a record for your maintenance file.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| Caps, hinges and bands | Replacement caps and heads, hinge pins or assemblies on fold-down posts, and new reflective bands. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
