Consents, ground and services in Stourbridge
Dudley Council is the highway authority covering Stourbridge'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 (Dudley Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Electro-mechanical servicing | Motor, gearbox, couplings and sensor checks, with adjustment of limits and positions. |
What moves the price in Stourbridge
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Stourbridge firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Access control equipment to be tested
- Visit frequency and contract length
- Traffic management needed on live roads
Looking after them
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. After snow, clear around the head before use.
If posts in Stourbridge are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
