Permissions and groundwork in Walton-on-Thames
In Walton-on-Thames, 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.
If your site in Walton-on-Thames is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Elmbridge) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks. Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground.
- 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.
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.

Roadworks cut our loops: can they be replaced?
Yes. New loops are cut into the sound surface, connected and the detectors retuned. If the surface around them is damaged, it is repaired first so the new loops last.
Our bollard rose under a car: what happens next?
Take it out of service and keep it lowered or secured. The safety loops, photocells and settings are checked to find out why it rose, and the damage is assessed. It should not return to use until the cause is fixed and the risk assessment reviewed.
