Before we dig in Armagh
In Armagh, as everywhere in Northern Ireland, public roads and footways are looked after by DfI Roads rather than the council. If a post would sit on adopted footway, that consent comes first; private forecourts and car parks are a matter for the owner.
Many private-land installations in Armagh 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 Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council before posts go in.
Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground. Pits flood when drains silt up, soakaways fail or pipes collapse, and the repair may involve jetting or relaying a drain as well as replacing water-damaged parts.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.

What affects the quote
Our Northern Ireland guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Armagh firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
Looking after them
Between visits, keep the bollard head clear, report changes in speed or sound promptly and keep a simple log of faults with times and dates, which speeds diagnosis. Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run.

Our bollard rose under a car: what happens next?
Take it out of service and keep it lowered or secured. The safety loops, photocells and settings are checked to find out why it rose, and the damage is assessed. It should not return to use until the cause is fixed and the risk assessment reviewed.
Roadworks cut our loops: can they be replaced?
Yes. New loops are cut into the sound surface, connected and the detectors retuned. If the surface around them is damaged, it is repaired first so the new loops last.
