Permissions and groundwork in Walsall
The highway authority for local roads in Walsall is Walsall 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 Walsall is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Walsall Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Loops fail when surfaces crack, sink or are patched; replacing a loop in a broken surface without repairing the surface first just leads to another failure. 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.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
What affects the quote

- Loop replacement and surface repairs
- Drainage repairs or pit pumping

Keeping them working
After a repair, consider a planned maintenance arrangement if the bollard has no service history. Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early.
For damaged or loose posts in Walsall, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
