Permissions and groundwork in Cheadle Hulme
Stockport Council is the highway authority covering Cheadle Hulme's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Cheadle Hulme is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Stockport Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
- Do not keep a bollard in service with faulty or bypassed safety devices; make it safe and lock it down or out of use until repaired.
What happens on site
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.
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.
