Permissions and groundwork in Woking
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Woking's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 Woking) first — we flag this at survey.
Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further. 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.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
How the job runs
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.
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| 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. |
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
Pricing bollard repairs in Woking
When we price bollard repairs in Woking, these make the biggest difference:
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
- Access, traffic management and working hours
- Surface type and reinstatement
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Woking.
Questions about bollard repairs in Woking
Which parts of Woking do you cover for bollard repairs?
We cover all of Woking (GU22, GU21 and KT14) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Guildford, Egham and Walton-on-Thames.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Woking?
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Woking's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
How much do bollard repairs cost in Woking?
In Woking, 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.
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.
What happens if the crew finds more damage than expected?
They stop and tell you, and we price the extra work in writing. You decide whether to go ahead. Nothing beyond the agreed price is carried out without your approval.
