Before we dig in Woking
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Woking's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Woking 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 Woking before posts go in.
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. Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Options to consider
| 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. |
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
What moves the price in Woking
Two Woking jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Loop replacement and surface repairs
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
Keeping them working
After a repair, consider a planned maintenance arrangement if the bollard has no service history. Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run.
For damaged or loose posts in Woking, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
