Consents, ground and services in Corby
North Northamptonshire Council is the highway authority covering Corby's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Corby 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 North Northamptonshire 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. Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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 Corby
Our East Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Corby firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Parts required and their availability
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
- Loop replacement and surface repairs
After installation
Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early. After a repair, consider a planned maintenance arrangement if the bollard has no service history.
