Consents, ground and services in Great Malvern
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Great Malvern'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 Great Malvern is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Malvern Hills) 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. Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks.
- 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.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
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 |

| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
