What we check first in Evesham
The highway authority for local roads in Evesham is Worcestershire County 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.
Many private-land installations in Evesham 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 Wychavon 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. 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.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
From survey to handover
Agree the visit price
We confirm the cost of the diagnostic and repair visit in writing. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
What affects the quote
Two Evesham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Nature of the fault and time needed to diagnose it
- Impact damage to heads, cassettes or foundations
- Parts required and their availability
After installation
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. Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run.
If posts in Evesham are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
