What we check first in Littlehampton
In Littlehampton, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from West Sussex 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 Arun) first — we flag this at survey.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| 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. |
What moves the price in Littlehampton

Common questions
Do you carry out bollard repairs in Littlehampton?
We cover all of Littlehampton (BN17, BN16 and BN18) and the rest of West Sussex. We also work in Bognor Regis, Worthing and Chichester.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Littlehampton?
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Littlehampton'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 Littlehampton?
In Littlehampton, 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.
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.
