Consents, ground and services in Walton-on-Thames
The highway authority for local roads in Walton-on-Thames 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.
If your site in Walton-on-Thames is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Elmbridge) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base.
- 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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Safety and access testing | Loops, photocells, lights, manual release, emergency functions and access control inputs tested on every visit. |
| Hydraulic servicing | Fluid, hoses, seals, pump and valve checks, with fluid topped up or changed as needed. |
| 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
Two Walton-on-Thames jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Access control equipment to be tested
- Visit frequency and contract length
- Number of bollards and controllers
Keeping them working
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. 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 Walton-on-Thames are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
