Consents, ground and services in Fareham
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Fareham'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 Fareham 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 Fareham before posts go in.
Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close. Each post sits on a concrete base on firm ground, and on soft verges or made ground the base is deepened or widened to suit.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
- Use contrasting colours or bands so grey bollards stand out against grey paving.
What happens on site
Survey and choose
A free site survey looks at the setting, ground, delivery access and where a lifting vehicle can stand. You receive a fixed written quote with the product, finish and fixing.
Set the bollards
Each bollard is lowered onto a mortar bed with its dowel grouted in, checked plumb and aligned with its neighbours.
Reinstate and clean
Paving is made good around each base and the bollards are cleaned of mortar and handling marks.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
What affects the quote
When we price concrete bollards in Fareham, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of bollards
- Lifting equipment and access for delivery
- Reinstatement of paving or turf
Looking after them
If a line is regularly struck by vehicles, consider whether steel cores, a tested product or a different layout would suit better. Concrete bollards need very little: occasional washing, removal of graffiti with suitable cleaners, and checks for chips, cracks and lean.
For damaged or loose posts in Fareham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
