Consents, ground and services in Bushey
The highway authority for local roads in Bushey is Hertfordshire 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 Bushey 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 Hertsmere before posts go in.
Where a vehicle impact has cracked the cassette's foundation, the concrete may need breaking out and recasting before the bollard can safely return to use. Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
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.
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
What affects the quote
When we price auto bollard repairs in Bushey, these make the biggest difference:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
After installation
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 Bushey.

Our automatic bollard is stuck up: what should we do now?
