Permissions and groundwork in Radcliffe
The highway authority for local roads in Radcliffe is Bury 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.
If your site in Radcliffe is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Bury Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground. Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks.
- 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.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
From survey to handover
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
| Hydraulic repairs | Seals, hoses, valves, pumps and power packs, with fluid topped up or replaced and leaks cleaned up properly. |
What affects the quote
Our North West guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Radcliffe firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
- Loop replacement and surface repairs
Keeping them working
After a repair, consider a planned maintenance arrangement if the bollard has no service history. Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early.
For damaged or loose posts in Radcliffe, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
