Consents, ground and services in Guiseley
In Guiseley, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Leeds City 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 (Leeds City Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
How the job runs
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
| Hydraulic repairs | Seals, hoses, valves, pumps and power packs, with fluid topped up or replaced and leaks cleaned up properly. |

Looking after them
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. Many repairs could be avoided by regular servicing, which catches blocked drains, weeping seals and failing loops early.
