Before we dig in Hillingdon
In Hillingdon, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hillingdon Council, the local highway authority. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Hillingdon is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Hillingdon Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch. Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.

Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
Remove the old bollard

Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Specification choices

| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
