What we check first in Wednesfield
City of Wolverhampton Council is the highway authority covering Wednesfield'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 Wednesfield 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 City of Wolverhampton Council before posts go in.
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 written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Planned maintenance contract | Scheduled visits at agreed intervals, priced in writing, with a consistent record kept across visits. |
| Visit frequency | Set by how often the bollards cycle and the site's risk; busy or security sites usually need more frequent 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 West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Wednesfield firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Traffic management needed on live roads
- Visit frequency and contract length
Looking after them
After snow, clear around the head before use. 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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Wednesfield.
