Permissions and groundwork in Stourbridge
Dudley Council is the highway authority covering Stourbridge's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Dudley Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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. Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
How the job runs
Agree the visit price
We confirm the cost of the diagnostic and repair visit in writing. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |

In Stourbridge, 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.
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.
