Common reasons for automatic bollard service visits in Bedworth
What automatic bollard service visits usually sort out in Bedworth:
- Systems that have started to run slowly or noisily
- Pedestrianised zones with rising bollards for deliveries
- Bollards inherited with a building and no service history
Before we dig in Bedworth
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority covering Bedworth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 Nuneaton and Bedworth) first — we flag this at survey.
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. 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.
- Have electrical faults and modifications handled by a qualified electrician, to BS 7671.
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Electro-mechanical servicing | Motor, gearbox, couplings and sensor checks, with adjustment of limits and positions. |
| 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
Two Bedworth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Traffic management needed on live roads
- Visit frequency and contract length
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
Looking after them
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. 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 posts in Bedworth are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
