Before we dig in Denton
Tameside Council is the highway authority covering Denton's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Denton 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 Tameside Council before posts go in.
Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground. 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.
- 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.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
How the job runs
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
| 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. |

Our bollard rose under a car: what happens next?
