Before we dig in Farnham
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Farnham's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Farnham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Waverley) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath. Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
What moves the price in Farnham
When we price bollard repairs in Farnham, these make the biggest difference:
- Making safe before the main repair
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Access, traffic management and working hours
After installation
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Farnham.

Is a bollard repair visit free?
No. Repairs are paid visits, and we give you the price in writing before anyone attends. Sending photographs first helps us price accurately and bring the right parts.
