Rules for automatic bollard service visits in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Rising bollards should fail safe, never rise beneath a vehicle, carry clear signs and give the emergency services an override.

How installation works
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.
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.

How much do automatic bollard service visits cost in Cornwall?
In Cornwall, typically £95–£345 per planned service visit, first bollard, plus VAT, using our South West guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Cornwall?
For local roads, Cornwall Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Will the entrance be closed during a service?
Usually only partly. We service one bollard or lane at a time where possible, with cones and staff managing traffic. On single-bollard entrances, a short closure is agreed in advance.
Is a maintenance contract necessary?
It is not compulsory, but planned visits catch wear before it becomes a breakdown and give you a maintenance record. One-off visits suit lightly used bollards or as a starting point.
