Typical auto bollard repairs requests in Bognor Regis
What auto bollard repairs usually sort out in Bognor Regis:

- Loops cut or damaged during resurfacing
- Bollards that rise or fall on their own
Before we dig in Bognor Regis
In Bognor Regis, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from West Sussex County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Bognor Regis need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Arun before posts go in.
Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks. Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground.
- 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.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
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.
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. |
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
What moves the price in Bognor Regis
When we price auto bollard repairs in Bognor Regis, these make the biggest difference:
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
- Loop replacement and surface repairs
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
Keeping them working
Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early. 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.
If posts in Bognor Regis are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
