Before we dig in Dukinfield
Tameside Council is the highway authority covering Dukinfield'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 Dukinfield is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Tameside Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Cable trenches run between every position and back to the supply, often crossing paths, drives and planting, so the routes are planned to minimise cuts through hard surfaces and to avoid existing gas, water and telecoms services. Cable is protected by armour or duct, buried deep enough to avoid garden tools and future paving works, and marked with warning tape.
- Where bollards light a public route, check the lighting levels the site owner or designer requires.
- Choose IP and IK ratings that suit the location, and do not rely on lighting bollards as vehicle barriers.
What happens on site
Survey and lighting layout
A free site survey looks at the routes to be lit, where power can come from, surfaces and buried services. Bollard spacing is set from the product's light data, and you receive a fixed written quote.
Electrical connection
A qualified electrician installs the circuit protection, makes the connections in weatherproof enclosures and fits controls such as a photocell or timer.
Reinstate
Trenches are backfilled and surfaces made good, whether paving, tarmac, gravel or turf.
Finishes and options

After installation
Photocells and timers need resetting when the clocks change unless they adjust automatically. Clean diffusers so dirt and algae do not dim the light, check seals and fixings, and look for impact damage, especially in car parks.

Will lighting bollards survive in a car park?
Choose robust bodies with a high impact rating and place them where vehicles are unlikely to hit them, such as behind kerbs or alongside protective posts. A lighting bollard is not designed to stop a car.
Can bollard lights work on a timer or motion sensor?
Yes. Photocells switch them on at dusk, timers switch them off or dim them late at night and motion sensors bring them up when someone approaches. Combining controls saves energy and reduces light pollution.
