Before we dig in Eastleigh
In Eastleigh, 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 Eastleigh is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Eastleigh) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. If the old foundation is cracked from the impact, it is removed entirely; if it is sound and suits the new post, reuse can reduce disruption.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
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.
Specification choices
| 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. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
What moves the price in Eastleigh
Two Eastleigh jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Making safe before the replacement
Looking after them
After replacement, look at why the post failed. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
For damaged or loose posts in Eastleigh, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Questions about replacement bollards in Eastleigh
Can you carry out replacement bollards anywhere in Eastleigh?
We cover all of Eastleigh (SO50, SO53 and SO30) and the rest of Hampshire. We also work in Southampton, Totton and Winchester.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Eastleigh?
The highway authority for local roads in Eastleigh 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.
What's a typical price for replacement bollards in Eastleigh?
In Eastleigh, 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.
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.
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.
