What we check first in Eastleigh
In Eastleigh, 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 Eastleigh is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Eastleigh) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. 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.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |

Common questions
Do you carry out bollard repairs in Eastleigh?
We cover all of Eastleigh (SO50, SO53 and SO30) and the rest of Hampshire. We also work in Southampton, Totton and Winchester.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Eastleigh?
The highway authority for local roads in Eastleigh is Hampshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
What's a typical price for bollard repairs in Eastleigh?
In Eastleigh, typically £125–£475 per visit, typically one to three posts, plus VAT (£145–£565 including VAT for homeowners), using our South East guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
Can you repair a bollard we did not install?
Yes. We repair fixed, removable, telescopic, fold-down and other manual bollards whoever installed them. Photographs help us identify the type and find matching parts.
Why does our base-plated bollard keep working loose?
Usually because the anchors are in weak, cracked or thin concrete, or too close to an edge or joint. Re-tightening does not last. New anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate or a slab repair is the lasting fix.
