Before we dig in Jarrow
South Tyneside Council is the highway authority covering Jarrow's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Jarrow is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (South Tyneside Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground. 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.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
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.
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.
Test and report
After the repair, every safety device and access input is tested with vehicles, and you receive a written report of the fault, cause and work done.
Choosing the right spec
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Two Jarrow jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
Keeping them working
Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run. 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.
For damaged or loose posts in Jarrow, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Common questions
Can you carry out auto bollard repairs anywhere in Jarrow?
We cover all of Jarrow (NE32, NE35 and NE36) and the rest of Tyne and Wear. We also work in Hebburn, Wallsend and South Shields.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Jarrow?
In Jarrow, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from South Tyneside Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do auto bollard repairs cost in Jarrow?
In Jarrow, typically £135–£2,395 per repair, from a diagnostic visit to a replacement hydraulic unit or head, plus VAT, using our North East guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
Our automatic bollard is stuck up: what should we do now?
Keep vehicles and people clear and do not try to force it. If you have a manual release key and know the procedure, you can lower it; otherwise cone it off. Then contact us with photographs and a description so we can price the visit.
Why does our bollard rise and fall by itself?
Usually because a loop or its detector is faulty, or an access device is sending repeated signals. Damaged road surfaces and water in loop cuts are common causes. Diagnosis checks the loops first.
