Permissions and groundwork in New Milton
The highway authority for local roads in New Milton 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.
If your site in New Milton is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for New Forest) 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. Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
What happens on site
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.
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.
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. |
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
What affects the quote
Two New Milton jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Making safe before the main repair
- Type of repair and number of posts
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. Keep a record of bollard types, suppliers, key numbers and colours on site, so a repair can be quoted and matched quickly when it is needed.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in New Milton.
