What we check first in Hammersmith and Fulham
Hammersmith and Fulham Council is the highway authority covering Hammersmith and Fulham's local roads. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Hammersmith and Fulham Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground. Where a vehicle impact has cracked the cassette's foundation, the concrete may need breaking out and recasting before the bollard can safely return to use.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.

Agree the visit price

Our bollard rose under a car: what happens next?

Roadworks cut our loops: can they be replaced?
Yes. New loops are cut into the sound surface, connected and the detectors retuned. If the surface around them is damaged, it is repaired first so the new loops last.
