Before we dig in Bordon
In Bordon, 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.
If your site in Bordon is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for East Hampshire) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch. Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
How the job runs
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.
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Bordon
Two Bordon jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
After installation
Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bordon.
