What we check first in Mansfield
In Mansfield, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Nottinghamshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Mansfield is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Mansfield) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Loops fail when surfaces crack, sink or are patched; replacing a loop in a broken surface without repairing the surface first just leads to another failure. 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.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
What happens on site
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.
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.
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. |
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
