Rules for automatic bollard service visits in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Rising bollards should fail safe, never rise beneath a vehicle, carry clear signs and give the emergency services an override.

How installation works
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.
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.
