Before we dig in Clevedon
The highway authority for local roads in Clevedon is North Somerset Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. 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 Clevedon 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 North Somerset Council before posts go in.
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. Servicing rarely needs excavation, but the condition of the ground around the bollard tells a lot about its health.
- Keep safety devices tested and working; a bollard with disabled or faulty safety loops or photocells should not stay in service.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
Installation, step by step
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| One-off service visit | A single paid service, useful for bollards with no recent history or before a decision about a contract. |
| Planned maintenance contract | Scheduled visits at agreed intervals, priced in writing, with a consistent record kept across visits. |
| Visit frequency | Set by how often the bollards cycle and the site's risk; busy or security sites usually need more frequent visits. |
What affects the quote
When we price automatic bollard service visits in Clevedon, these make the biggest difference:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Access control equipment to be tested
- Visit frequency and contract length
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Clevedon.
