Frequently Asked Questions
How much do automatic bollards cost?
Automatic bollards typically cost from £2,000–£3,500 fully installed, depending on the model and power requirements. This includes the bollard, control unit, remote fobs, and professional installation. We provide free quotes tailored to your property.
How do automatic bollards work?
Automatic bollards are powered by a 230V mains supply or low-voltage transformer. Press the remote fob and the bollard raises or lowers in 3–6 seconds. Most systems include a manual override key in case of power failure.
Do automatic bollards need mains power?
Most automatic bollards require a 230V mains connection. We can install the cabling as part of the job, or work with your electrician. We do also supply extremely effective battery-powered units that generally have a six month battery life.
How long do automatic bollards last?
Quality automatic bollards are rated for 50,000+ cycles, which translates to 10–15+ years of typical residential use. We supply bollards with gold-standard warranties and can service or repair units as needed.
Can automatic bollards be installed on any driveway?
Yes — we install automatic bollards on block paving, tarmac, concrete, and resin driveways. Installation requires core drilling and running a power cable, which we handle as part of the job.
What happens if there's a power cut?
All our automatic bollards include a manual override — you can raise or lower the bollard using a key if the power fails. Some premium models also include battery backup for uninterrupted operation, and of course out battery-powered units operate independent of mains electricity.
Are automatic bollards insurance approved?
Yes — most automatic bollards meet Sold Secure or LPS 1175 standards recognised by insurers. Many customers see reduced premiums after installation. We can provide certification for your insurer on request.
How long does automatic bollard installation take?
Most automatic bollard installations take half a day, including electrical work. If cabling needs to be run a significant distance, it may take a full day. We'll confirm the timeframe in your quote.
