What we check first in Stourport-on-Severn
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Stourport-on-Severn's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Stourport-on-Severn is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Wyre Forest) 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. 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.
- 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.
Specification choices
| 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. |
| Hydraulic servicing | Fluid, hoses, seals, pump and valve checks, with fluid topped up or changed as needed. |
What affects the quote
Two Stourport-on-Severn jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Hydraulic or electro-mechanical drive
- Traffic management needed on live roads
- Number of bollards and controllers
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 Stourport-on-Severn, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
