What we check first in Hounslow
In Hounslow, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hounslow 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 Hounslow is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Hounslow Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Access for the lifting vehicle matters: soft grass, paving and kerbs can be damaged by an outrigger, so ground protection mats are often laid before lifting begins. Services under footways are traced before excavation.
- On public highway or council land, agree positions and specification with the highway authority or landowner.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians pass, checking against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
From survey to handover
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
Pricing concrete bollards in Hounslow
When we price concrete bollards in Hounslow, these make the biggest difference:
- Precast concrete or reconstituted stone
- Reinstatement of paving or turf
- Size, shape and surface finish
After installation
In areas salted heavily in winter, check for surface spalling. Small chips can be repaired with a colour-matched mortar, but a bollard that has cracked through or sheared at the dowel needs replacing.
If posts in Hounslow are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Should we use concrete or steel bollards?
Concrete suits landscaped and public spaces where appearance and low maintenance matter and where impacts are rare. Steel suits car parks and yards where knocks are frequent, because it bends rather than shatters. Many schemes use both in different places.
Can concrete bollards be moved later?
Yes, though it takes lifting equipment. Dowel-fixed bollards can be lifted off once the grout is broken out, and the foundation removed or reused. Plan for it if you think the layout may change.
