Consents, ground and services in Wallasey
Wirral Council is the highway authority covering Wallasey's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 (Wirral Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Test emergency service access arrangements periodically and after any change to the controls.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Visit frequency | Set by how often the bollards cycle and the site's risk; busy or security sites usually need more frequent visits. |
| Electro-mechanical servicing | Motor, gearbox, couplings and sensor checks, with adjustment of limits and positions. |
| Hydraulic servicing | Fluid, hoses, seals, pump and valve checks, with fluid topped up or changed as needed. |
What moves the price in Wallasey

Looking after them
After snow, clear around the head before use. 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.
