Permissions and groundwork in Ewell
In Ewell, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Epsom and Ewell) first — we flag this at survey.
Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath. 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.
- 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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
What affects the quote
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Ewell firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Making safe before the main repair
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
Keeping them working
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.
For damaged or loose posts in Ewell, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
