Before we dig in Sutton-in-Ashfield
In Sutton-in-Ashfield, 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.
Many private-land installations in Sutton-in-Ashfield 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 the council for Ashfield before posts go in.
Pits flood when drains silt up, soakaways fail or pipes collapse, and the repair may involve jetting or relaying a drain as well as replacing water-damaged parts. Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
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.
Specification choices
| 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. |
| 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. |
