Permissions and groundwork in Egham
In Egham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Egham 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 Runnymede 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.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
What affects the quote
Our London guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Egham firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Parts required and their availability
- Loop replacement and surface repairs
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
Keeping them working
Between visits, keep the bollard head clear, report changes in speed or sound promptly and keep a simple log of faults with times and dates, which speeds diagnosis. Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early.
If posts in Egham are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
