Before we dig in Enfield
Enfield Council is the highway authority covering Enfield's local roads. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. 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 Enfield 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 Enfield Council before posts go in.
Loops fail when the road surface around them cracks or is patched, so loop condition is checked alongside surface condition. Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base.
- Have electrical faults and modifications handled by a qualified electrician, to BS 7671.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
What happens on site
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Planned maintenance contract | Scheduled visits at agreed intervals, priced in writing, with a consistent record kept across visits. |
| Safety and access testing | Loops, photocells, lights, manual release, emergency functions and access control inputs tested on every visit. |
| 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 Enfield
Two Enfield jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Visit frequency and contract length
- Access control equipment to be tested
Keeping them working
If the road around the bollard is being resurfaced, tell us beforehand so loops and ducts can be protected or reinstated. 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 posts in Enfield are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
