Permissions and groundwork in Redcar
Redcar and Cleveland Council is the highway authority covering Redcar's local roads. 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 (Redcar and Cleveland Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- 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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
What moves the price in Redcar
Our North East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Redcar firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Loop replacement and surface repairs
- Parts required and their availability
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
Looking after them
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.
For damaged or loose posts in Redcar, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

How is an automatic bollard repair priced?
The visit is priced in writing before we attend. If parts or further work are needed beyond what can be done on the visit, they are quoted separately in writing before we carry them out.
Why does our bollard rise and fall by itself?
Usually because a loop or its detector is faulty, or an access device is sending repeated signals. Damaged road surfaces and water in loop cuts are common causes. Diagnosis checks the loops first.
