Why Hawick sites book bollard repairs
What bollard repairs usually sort out in Hawick:
- Removable bollards with seized locks or damaged sockets
- Posts leaning or rocking after a vehicle knock
- Fold-down posts with bent hinges or broken locks
Before we dig in Hawick
Hawick falls under Scottish Borders Council as roads authority. If the line of posts crosses onto adopted road or pavement, permission comes before excavation; on private land it does not.
If your site in Hawick is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Scottish Borders Council) 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. Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
From survey to handover
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.
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. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
What moves the price in Hawick
When we price bollard repairs in Hawick, these make the biggest difference:
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Making safe before the main repair
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
Keeping them working
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. 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.
For damaged or loose posts in Hawick, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
