Typical auto bollard repairs requests in Wednesfield
Why sites in Wednesfield book auto bollard repairs:

- Loops cut or damaged during resurfacing
- Heads and covers damaged by a vehicle strike
Before we dig in Wednesfield
City of Wolverhampton Council is the highway authority covering Wednesfield's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Wednesfield is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (City of Wolverhampton 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.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
From survey to handover
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |

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.
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.
