Consents, ground and services in Ealing
Ealing Council is the highway authority covering Ealing's local roads. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 (Ealing 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.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
What happens on site
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
| 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. |
What moves the price in Ealing
Two Ealing jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
Looking after them
Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run. Between visits, keep the bollard head clear, report changes in speed or sound promptly and keep a simple log of faults with times and dates, which speeds diagnosis.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Ealing.

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Ealing?

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.
Can you repair automatic bollards you did not install?
Yes, for common makes of hydraulic and electro-mechanical bollard. Some parts are proprietary and sourced through the manufacturer or distributor. Make and model details help us prepare.
