What we check first in Haringey
The highway authority for local roads in Haringey is Haringey Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. 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 Haringey 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 Haringey Council 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. 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.
Installation, step by step
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Haringey?

How much do auto bollard repairs cost in Haringey?
In Haringey, typically £165–£2,895 per repair, from a diagnostic visit to a replacement hydraulic unit or head, plus VAT, using our London guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
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.
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.
