Consents, ground and services in Aldershot
In Aldershot, 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 Aldershot is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Rushmoor) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Base-plate repairs depend on the slab: if the concrete has cracked or crumbled around the anchors, it is cut back and repaired before new fixings go in. Many repairs are really foundation repairs.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
How the job runs
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Caps, hinges and bands | Replacement caps and heads, hinge pins or assemblies on fold-down posts, and new reflective bands. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
What moves the price in Aldershot
Two Aldershot jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
After installation
Lubricating locks a few times a year, lifting removable and telescopic posts periodically, keeping cassettes clear of grit, touching up chipped paint and checking for lean after knocks will prevent many of them. Most repair call-outs come from small problems left too long.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Aldershot.
