Why Basingstoke sites book replacement bollards
What replacement bollards usually sort out in Basingstoke:
- Cracked cast iron or chipped concrete bollards
- Posts bent, sheared or broken by vehicle impacts
- Upgrading posts that keep being hit
Before we dig in Basingstoke
In Basingstoke, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hampshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Basingstoke need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Basingstoke and Deane before posts go in.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
From survey to handover
Make safe
If a broken post or stub is a hazard, it can be removed or capped first. That is priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
Survey and match
At the free site survey we measure the existing bollards, photograph the line and check the foundations. A fixed written quote sets out like-for-like and any upgrade options.
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |

Common questions
Do you carry out replacement bollards in Basingstoke?
We cover all of Basingstoke (RG21, RG24, RG22, RG23, RG25 and RG26) and the rest of Hampshire. We also work in Fleet, Thatcham and Yateley.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Basingstoke?
The highway authority for local roads in Basingstoke is Hampshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
How much do replacement bollards cost in Basingstoke?
In Basingstoke, typically £225–£1,245 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£265–£1,495 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £465 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Should we replace like-for-like or upgrade?
Like-for-like if the post was hit once in an unusual incident. Consider an upgrade if the same position is struck repeatedly or the post no longer suits how the site is used. The survey will show which makes sense.
Can you provide paperwork for an insurance claim?
Yes. The written quote, photographs and itemised invoice are usually what an insurer asks for when recovering the cost from the driver responsible. We can provide them in the format your insurer needs.
