Permissions and groundwork in Brierley Hill
In Brierley Hill, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Dudley Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Brierley Hill is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Dudley Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground. 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.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- 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.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
What affects the quote
Two Brierley Hill jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
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 Brierley Hill, repairs and replacements are priced in writing 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.
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.
