- Residential estates with shared automatic bollards
- Pedestrianised zones with rising bollards for deliveries
Before we dig in Epsom
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Epsom's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Epsom is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Epsom and Ewell) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Drainage outlets are tested by running water into the pit; where they no longer drain, the cause may be a collapsed pipe or a soakaway that has silted up, which may need a separate drainage repair quoted in writing.
- Have electrical faults and modifications handled by a qualified electrician, to BS 7671.
- Keep safety devices tested and working; a bollard with disabled or faulty safety loops or photocells should not stay in service.
From survey to handover
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 |
|---|---|
| Safety and access testing | Loops, photocells, lights, manual release, emergency functions and access control inputs tested on every visit. |
| 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. |
Pricing automatic bollard service visits in Epsom
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Epsom firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Access control equipment to be tested
- Traffic management needed on live roads
- Visit frequency and contract length
Keeping them working
After snow, clear around the head before use. Between service visits, site staff can do a lot to keep bollards reliable: keep the head and surrounding road clear of leaves and grit, report any change in speed, noise or behaviour, keep a note of faults with the date and time, and never bypass or disconnect safety devices to keep an entrance open.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Epsom.
Common questions
Can you carry out automatic bollard service visits anywhere in Epsom?
We cover all of Epsom (KT18 and KT19) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Ewell, Banstead and Kingston upon Thames.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Epsom?
The highway authority for local roads in Epsom 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 Epsom?
In Epsom, typically £105–£365 per planned service visit, first bollard, plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
Do you service bollards you did not install?
Yes, for common makes of hydraulic and electro-mechanical bollard. Proprietary parts are sourced through the manufacturer or their distributor where available. Photographs of the bollard and controller help us prepare.
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.
