Before we dig in Tewkesbury
The highway authority for local roads in Tewkesbury is Gloucestershire 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.
Many private-land installations in Tewkesbury 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 the council for Tewkesbury before posts go in.
Loops fail when surfaces crack, sink or are patched; replacing a loop in a broken surface without repairing the surface first just leads to another failure. Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
| Hydraulic repairs | Seals, hoses, valves, pumps and power packs, with fluid topped up or replaced and leaks cleaned up properly. |
What moves the price in Tewkesbury
Two Tewkesbury jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
- Loop replacement and surface repairs
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
After installation
Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early. Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run.
For damaged or loose posts in Tewkesbury, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
