What we check first in Tyldesley
The highway authority for local roads in Tyldesley is Wigan 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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Wigan Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| 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. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
What affects the quote
Two Tyldesley jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Loop replacement and surface repairs
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
Keeping them working
Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run. Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Tyldesley.
