Permissions and groundwork in Kenilworth
The highway authority for local roads in Kenilworth is Warwickshire County 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 Kenilworth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Warwickshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
- Do not keep a bollard in service with faulty or bypassed safety devices; make it safe and lock it down or out of use until repaired.
What happens on site
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Hydraulic repairs | Seals, hoses, valves, pumps and power packs, with fluid topped up or replaced and leaks cleaned up properly. |
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
What affects the quote
When we price auto bollard repairs in Kenilworth, these make the biggest difference:
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
Looking after them
Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early. After a repair, consider a planned maintenance arrangement if the bollard has no service history.
If posts in Kenilworth are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
