What we check first in Brierley Hill
Dudley Council is the highway authority covering Brierley Hill's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Brierley Hill 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 Dudley Council before posts go in.
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.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.
- Keep safety devices tested and working; a bollard with disabled or faulty safety loops or photocells should not stay in service.
What happens on site
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.
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. |
| Visit frequency | Set by how often the bollards cycle and the site's risk; busy or security sites usually need more frequent visits. |
What moves the price in Brierley Hill
Two Brierley Hill jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Visit frequency and contract length
- Number of bollards and controllers
- Access control equipment to be tested
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. After snow, clear around the head before use.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Brierley Hill.
