Consents, ground and services in Bradford
Bradford Council is the highway authority covering Bradford'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 Bradford is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Bradford Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Where a vehicle impact has cracked the cassette's foundation, the concrete may need breaking out and recasting before the bollard can safely return to use. 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.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
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.
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.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Bradford?
The highway authority for local roads in Bradford is Bradford 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.

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.
Can you repair automatic bollards you did not install?
Yes, for common makes of hydraulic and electro-mechanical bollard. Some parts are proprietary and sourced through the manufacturer or distributor. Make and model details help us prepare.
