Rules for auto bollard repairs in Wales
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Rising bollards should fail safe, never rise beneath a vehicle, carry clear signs and give the emergency services an override.

How installation works
Agree the visit price
We confirm the cost of the diagnostic and repair visit in writing. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
Diagnose the cause
Fault logs, loops, drive, electrics and pit are checked in turn to find the underlying cause rather than just the symptom.
Quote and repair
Simple faults within the visit are fixed on the day. Where parts or further work are needed, we quote them in writing and complete the repair once approved.
Test and report
After the repair, every safety device and access input is tested with vehicles, and you receive a written report of the fault, cause and work done.

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.
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.
