What we check first in Abergavenny
Local roads and pavements in Abergavenny are the responsibility of Monmouthshire County Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
If your site in Abergavenny is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Monmouthshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base. Silt and grit washed in from the surrounding road are a steady source of wear, so where the road drains towards the bollard, a small change such as a channel or gully nearby can reduce how much debris reaches the pit.
- Test emergency service access arrangements periodically and after any change to the controls.
- Keep safety devices tested and working; a bollard with disabled or faulty safety loops or photocells should not stay in service.
What happens on site
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Electro-mechanical servicing | Motor, gearbox, couplings and sensor checks, with adjustment of limits and positions. |
| Planned maintenance contract | Scheduled visits at agreed intervals, priced in writing, with a consistent record kept across visits. |
| One-off service visit | A single paid service, useful for bollards with no recent history or before a decision about a contract. |
Pricing automatic bollard service visits in Abergavenny
Two Abergavenny jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Number of bollards and controllers
- Access control equipment to be tested
Keeping them working
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.
If posts in Abergavenny are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
