Before we dig in Ealing
The highway authority for local roads in Ealing is Ealing Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. 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 Ealing 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 Ealing Council before posts go in.
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.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Specification choices
| 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. |
| Visit frequency | Set by how often the bollards cycle and the site's risk; busy or security sites usually need more frequent visits. |
Pricing automatic bollard service visits in Ealing
Two Ealing jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Traffic management needed on live roads
- Rated bollards with manufacturer-specified procedures
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. After snow, clear around the head before use.
For damaged or loose posts in Ealing, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
