Permissions and groundwork in Sunbury-on-Thames
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Sunbury-on-Thames's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Sunbury-on-Thames need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Spelthorne before posts go in.
Reinstatement follows the original laying pattern and joint style, and on lime-bedded paving uses compatible materials so new work does not crack old stones around it. Excavation is by hand, positions are checked against service records and scanning, and anything unexpected is recorded rather than broken through.
- On public highway, agree positions and specification with the highway authority.
- Agree contrasting paint details with the conservation officer so posts remain visible to partially sighted people, in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance.
From survey to handover
Record what is there
The free site survey records existing bollards, their pattern, spacing, height and condition, and the paving they sit in. You receive a fixed written quote covering new castings, resets and reinstatement.
Agree pattern and approvals
We source a matching pattern or close equivalent and, where needed, provide details for the conservation officer or planning authority before ordering.
Relay and finish
Stone is relaid in its original pattern with suitable mortar, and the bollard is painted or touched up after fixing.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Paint finishes | Primed and painted, commonly black, with traditional highlights in gold or white on bands and crests where appropriate. |
| Ductile iron | Same patterns with much greater toughness; bends before it breaks. The usual choice for new posts on trafficked streets. |
| Cast aluminium | Lighter and easier to handle, with traditional patterns, but less robust and not always accepted in sensitive settings. |
