Rules for auto bollard repairs in England

Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Rising bollards should fail safe, never rise beneath a vehicle, carry clear signs and give the emergency services an override.

How installation works

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.

Test and report

After the repair, every safety device and access input is tested with vehicles, and you receive a written report of the fault, cause and work done.

Our automatic bollard is stuck up: what should we do now?

Keep vehicles and people clear and do not try to force it. If you have a manual release key and know the procedure, you can lower it; otherwise cone it off. Then contact us with photographs and a description so we can price the visit.

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.
