What we check first in Chalfont St Peter
Buckinghamshire Council is the highway authority covering Chalfont St Peter's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 (Buckinghamshire Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Drainage outlets are tested by running water into the pit; where they no longer drain, the cause may be a collapsed pipe or a soakaway that has silted up, which may need a separate drainage repair quoted in writing. Loops fail when the road surface around them cracks or is patched, so loop condition is checked alongside surface condition.
- Test emergency service access arrangements periodically and after any change to the controls.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
What happens on site
Plan around the entrance
Visits are planned to keep the entrance usable, usually servicing one lane or bollard at a time, with cones and staff on hand while a bollard is out of service.
Service and test
The pit, drainage, drive, electrics, safety devices and access inputs are serviced and tested, and the controller log is read.
Report and recommend
You receive a written report of what was checked and found. Any repair needed is quoted separately in writing for your approval.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Safety and access testing | Loops, photocells, lights, manual release, emergency functions and access control inputs tested on every visit. |
| Electro-mechanical servicing | Motor, gearbox, couplings and sensor checks, with adjustment of limits and positions. |
| One-off service visit | A single paid service, useful for bollards with no recent history or before a decision about a contract. |
What affects the quote
When we price automatic bollard service visits in Chalfont St Peter, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of bollards and controllers
- Traffic management needed on live roads
- Access control equipment to be tested
After installation
Between service visits, site staff can do a lot to keep bollards reliable: keep the head and surrounding road clear of leaves and grit, report any change in speed, noise or behaviour, keep a note of faults with the date and time, and never bypass or disconnect safety devices to keep an entrance open. After snow, clear around the head before use.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Chalfont St Peter.
