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.
If your site in Hammersmith and Fulham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Hammersmith and Fulham Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Base-plate repairs depend on the slab: if the concrete has cracked or crumbled around the anchors, it is cut back and repaired before new fixings go in. Many repairs are really foundation repairs.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
Installation, step by step
Send photos and details
Tell us what has happened and send photographs of each affected post, close up and from a distance, with the location. That lets us identify the bollard type and the likely repair.
Carry out the repair
The crew carries out the agreed work. If they find something different, such as a cracked slab under a base plate, they stop and we price the extra work in writing before continuing.
Record and hand back
The repaired posts are checked, the surface is made good and photographs are sent so you have a record for your maintenance file.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
What moves the price in Hammersmith and Fulham
Two Hammersmith and Fulham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
After installation
Lubricating locks a few times a year, lifting removable and telescopic posts periodically, keeping cassettes clear of grit, touching up chipped paint and checking for lean after knocks will prevent many of them. Most repair call-outs come from small problems left too long.

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Hammersmith and Fulham?

How much do bollard repairs cost in Hammersmith and Fulham?
In Hammersmith and Fulham, typically £135–£515 per visit, typically one to three posts, plus VAT (£155–£615 including VAT for homeowners), using our London guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
Why does our base-plated bollard keep working loose?
Usually because the anchors are in weak, cracked or thin concrete, or too close to an edge or joint. Re-tightening does not last. New anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate or a slab repair is the lasting fix.
Can a bent bollard be straightened?
Only if the bend is slight and the steel has not creased or torn. A sharply bent post is weakened and should be replaced. Often the post is fine and it is the foundation that has moved, which re-bedding fixes.
