Before we dig in Coalville
The highway authority for local roads in Coalville is Leicestershire 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.
If your site in Coalville is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for North West Leicestershire) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Loops fail when surfaces crack, sink or are patched; replacing a loop in a broken surface without repairing the surface first just leads to another failure.
- 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.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
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.
Diagnose the cause
Fault logs, loops, drive, electrics and pit are checked in turn to find the underlying cause rather than just the symptom.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
What moves the price in Coalville
Our East Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Coalville firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
Looking after them
After a repair, consider a planned maintenance arrangement if the bollard has no service history. Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run.

Our bollard rose under a car: what happens next?
Take it out of service and keep it lowered or secured. The safety loops, photocells and settings are checked to find out why it rose, and the damage is assessed. It should not return to use until the cause is fixed and the risk assessment reviewed.
Roadworks cut our loops: can they be replaced?
Yes. New loops are cut into the sound surface, connected and the detectors retuned. If the surface around them is damaged, it is repaired first so the new loops last.
