Why Warwick sites book automatic bollard service visits
What automatic bollard service visits usually sort out in Warwick:
- Secure sites with crash-rated automatic bollards
- Sites needing documented maintenance for insurers or audits
- Systems that have started to run slowly or noisily
Before we dig in Warwick
In Warwick, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Warwickshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Warwick need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Warwickshire County Council before posts go in.
Servicing rarely needs excavation, but the condition of the ground around the bollard tells a lot about its health. 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.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.

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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Safety and access testing | Loops, photocells, lights, manual release, emergency functions and access control inputs tested on every visit. |
What affects the quote
Two Warwick jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Rated bollards with manufacturer-specified procedures
- Traffic management needed on live roads
- Visit frequency and contract length
Keeping them working
If the road around the bollard is being resurfaced, tell us beforehand so loops and ducts can be protected or reinstated. 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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Warwick.
