Why Egham sites book automatic bollard service visits

- Systems that have started to run slowly or noisily
What we check first in Egham
In Egham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 (the council for Runnymede) 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. Loops fail when the road surface around them cracks or is patched, so loop condition is checked alongside surface condition.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
What happens on site
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. |
| One-off service visit | A single paid service, useful for bollards with no recent history or before a decision about a contract. |
What affects the quote
Our London guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Egham firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Access control equipment to be tested
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Traffic management needed on live roads
Keeping them working
If the road around the bollard is being resurfaced, tell us beforehand so loops and ducts can be protected or reinstated. After snow, clear around the head before use.
If posts in Egham are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Do you carry out automatic bollard service visits in Egham?
We cover all of Egham (TW20, GU25, KT16 and KT15) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Staines, Ashford, Surrey and Windsor.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Egham?
The highway authority for local roads in Egham is Surrey County 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.
How much do automatic bollard service visits cost in Egham?
In Egham, typically £105–£395 per planned service visit, first bollard, plus VAT, using our London guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
How often should automatic bollards be serviced?
It depends on how often they cycle and the risk at the site. Commonly that means every three to six months, with busier or security entrances at the more frequent end. We suggest a frequency once we know your usage.
Is a maintenance contract necessary?
It is not compulsory, but planned visits catch wear before it becomes a breakdown and give you a maintenance record. One-off visits suit lightly used bollards or as a starting point.
