What we check first in Hillingdon
The highway authority for local roads in Hillingdon is Hillingdon 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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Hillingdon Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.
- Test emergency service access arrangements periodically and after any change to the controls.
Installation, step by step
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Safety and access testing | Loops, photocells, lights, manual release, emergency functions and access control inputs tested on every visit. |
Pricing automatic bollard service visits in Hillingdon
Our London guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Hillingdon firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Rated bollards with manufacturer-specified procedures
- Traffic management needed on live roads
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
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. If the road around the bollard is being resurfaced, tell us beforehand so loops and ducts can be protected or reinstated.

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Hillingdon?

It is recorded in the report and quoted separately in writing. You decide whether to go ahead. Small adjustments within the service scope are made during the visit.
