Permissions and groundwork in Pudsey
The highway authority for local roads in Pudsey is Leeds City 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.
If your site in Pudsey is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Leeds City Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
- 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.
How the job runs
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
