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
Describe the fault
Tell us what the bollard is doing, any lights or messages on the controller, recent weather or roadworks, and send photographs of the bollard, pit and controller.
Agree the visit price
We confirm the cost of the diagnostic and repair visit in writing. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
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.
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.

Our automatic bollard is stuck up: what should we do now?
Keep vehicles and people clear and do not try to force it. If you have a manual release key and know the procedure, you can lower it; otherwise cone it off. Then contact us with photographs and a description so we can price the visit.
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.
