Rules for auto bollard repairs in England

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

Make the entrance safe

On arrival, the crew makes the bollard and entrance safe, lowering or securing it as agreed with you and coning the area.

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.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Cheshire?

For local roads, Cheshire East Council, Cheshire West and Chester Council, Halton Borough Council and Warrington Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.

Why does our bollard rise and fall by itself?

Usually because a loop or its detector is faulty, or an access device is sending repeated signals. Damaged road surfaces and water in loop cuts are common causes. Diagnosis checks the loops first.

Can you repair automatic bollards you did not install?

Yes, for common makes of hydraulic and electro-mechanical bollard. Some parts are proprietary and sourced through the manufacturer or distributor. Make and model details help us prepare.
