Before we dig in Cwmbran
Before digging near the kerb in Cwmbran we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Torfaen County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Cwmbran is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Torfaen County Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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.
- 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.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| 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. |
| Planned maintenance contract | Scheduled visits at agreed intervals, priced in writing, with a consistent record kept across visits. |
| 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 Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Cwmbran firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Rated bollards with manufacturer-specified procedures
- Number of bollards and controllers
- Traffic management needed on live roads
After installation
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 the road around the bollard is being resurfaced, tell us beforehand so loops and ducts can be protected or reinstated.
If posts in Cwmbran are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
