Permissions and groundwork in Willenhall
In Willenhall, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Walsall Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 (Walsall Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground. Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
