Before we dig in Skegness
Lincolnshire County Council is the highway authority covering Skegness's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Skegness 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 the council for East Lindsey before posts go in.
Loops fail when the road surface around them cracks or is patched, so loop condition is checked alongside surface condition. Servicing rarely needs excavation, but the condition of the ground around the bollard tells a lot about its health.
- Have electrical faults and modifications handled by a qualified electrician, to BS 7671.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Safety and access testing | Loops, photocells, lights, manual release, emergency functions and access control inputs tested on every visit. |
| Hydraulic servicing | Fluid, hoses, seals, pump and valve checks, with fluid topped up or changed as needed. |
| Electro-mechanical servicing | Motor, gearbox, couplings and sensor checks, with adjustment of limits and positions. |
What moves the price in Skegness
Two Skegness jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Visit frequency and contract length
- Number of bollards and controllers
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 Skegness are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
