Consents, ground and services in Burnley
The highway authority for local roads in Burnley is Lancashire 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.
If your site in Burnley is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Burnley) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base. 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.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
- Have electrical faults and modifications handled by a qualified electrician, to BS 7671.
How the job runs
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Hydraulic servicing | Fluid, hoses, seals, pump and valve checks, with fluid topped up or changed as needed. |
Pricing automatic bollard service visits in Burnley
When we price automatic bollard service visits in Burnley, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of bollards and controllers
- Visit frequency and contract length
- Access control equipment to be tested
After installation
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. After snow, clear around the head before use.
If posts in Burnley are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
