A service visit cleans and inspects the bollard and cassette, checks the drive, drainage and electrics, and tests every safety device, access control input and emergency function. Around Evesham, that usually means sites such as small industrial units, filling-station forecourts and high street shopfronts.
We work across WR11, WR12 and WR10 — Evesham itself and places including Honeybourne, Bretforton, Harvington and Badsey. We also cover neighbouring Tewkesbury (11.3 miles), Stratford-upon-Avon (12.3 miles), Worcester (13.3 miles) and Cheltenham (14.4 miles) — distances are straight-line. Birmingham is around 27 miles away.

Consents, ground and services in Evesham
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Evesham'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 Evesham 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 the council for Wychavon before posts go in.
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. 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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Safety and access testing | Loops, photocells, lights, manual release, emergency functions and access control inputs tested on every visit. |
| One-off service visit | A single paid service, useful for bollards with no recent history or before a decision about a contract. |
| Hydraulic servicing | Fluid, hoses, seals, pump and valve checks, with fluid topped up or changed as needed. |
Pricing automatic bollard service visits in Evesham
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Evesham firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Traffic management needed on live roads
- Number of bollards and controllers
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
After installation
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. 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.
For damaged or loose posts in Evesham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
