What we check first in Dewsbury
The highway authority for local roads in Dewsbury is Kirklees Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Dewsbury is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Kirklees Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Servicing rarely needs excavation, but the condition of the ground around the bollard tells a lot about its health. Loops fail when the road surface around them cracks or is patched, so loop condition is checked alongside surface condition.
- Test emergency service access arrangements periodically and after any change to the controls.
- Have electrical faults and modifications handled by a qualified electrician, to BS 7671.
From survey to handover

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.

You receive a written report of what was checked and found. Any repair needed is quoted separately in writing for your approval.

Keeping them working
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.
For damaged or loose posts in Dewsbury, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
