Before we dig in Wilmslow
The highway authority for local roads in Wilmslow is Cheshire East 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 Wilmslow 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 Cheshire East Council before posts go in.
Servicing rarely needs excavation, but the condition of the ground around the bollard tells a lot about its health. Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.
- Keep safety devices tested and working; a bollard with disabled or faulty safety loops or photocells should not stay in service.
From survey to handover
Tell us about the installation
Send the make and model if known, the number of bollards, how busy the entrance is and any current problems, with photographs of the bollards and controller.
Agree the visit or contract
We price a one-off visit or a contract in writing, with the visit frequency suggested for your usage. Nothing is booked until you have agreed it.
Service and test
The pit, drainage, drive, electrics, safety devices and access inputs are serviced and tested, and the controller log is read.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Safety and access testing | Loops, photocells, lights, manual release, emergency functions and access control inputs tested on every visit. |
| One-off service visit | A single paid service, useful for bollards with no recent history or before a decision about a contract. |
| Planned maintenance contract | Scheduled visits at agreed intervals, priced in writing, with a consistent record kept across visits. |
What moves the price in Wilmslow
Our North West guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Wilmslow firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Access control equipment to be tested
- Visit frequency and contract length
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
Keeping them working
If the site changes how the entrance is used, such as longer opening hours or heavier delivery vehicles, mention it before the next visit so the service frequency and safety settings can be reconsidered. If the road around the bollard is being resurfaced, tell us beforehand so loops and ducts can be protected or reinstated.
For damaged or loose posts in Wilmslow, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

How often should automatic bollards be serviced?
It depends on how often they cycle and the risk at the site. Commonly that means every three to six months, with busier or security entrances at the more frequent end. We suggest a frequency once we know your usage.
What happens if the service finds a fault?
It is recorded in the report and quoted separately in writing. You decide whether to go ahead. Small adjustments within the service scope are made during the visit.
