Before we dig in Burnham-on-Sea
The highway authority for local roads in Burnham-on-Sea is Somerset Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Burnham-on-Sea is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Somerset Council) 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. 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.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
Installation, step by step
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.
Quote and repair
Simple faults within the visit are fixed on the day. Where parts or further work are needed, we quote them in writing and complete the repair once approved.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
| Hydraulic repairs | Seals, hoses, valves, pumps and power packs, with fluid topped up or replaced and leaks cleaned up properly. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
What moves the price in Burnham-on-Sea
Two Burnham-on-Sea jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
Keeping them working
Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early. Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run.
If posts in Burnham-on-Sea are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
