What we check first in Warwick
The highway authority for local roads in Warwick 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.
Many private-land installations in Warwick 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 Warwickshire County Council before posts go in.
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.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
- 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.
How the job runs
Make the entrance safe
On arrival, the crew makes the bollard and entrance safe, lowering or securing it as agreed with you and coning the area.
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.
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. |
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
What moves the price in Warwick
When we price auto bollard repairs in Warwick, these make the biggest difference:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Loop replacement and surface repairs
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
Looking after them
Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early. 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.
If posts in Warwick are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Warwick?
In Warwick, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Warwickshire County 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 Warwick?
In Warwick, typically £145–£2,495 per repair, from a diagnostic visit to a replacement hydraulic unit or head, plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
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.
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.
