What we check first in Waterlooville
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Waterlooville's local roads. 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 Waterlooville is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Havant) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Anchors therefore need sound concrete with enough edge distance; anchoring into thin, cracked or weak surfaces means the base works loose within weeks. On tarmac, a small concrete pad or a socket base cast in concrete is the reliable option.
- Keep pedestrian gaps and routes clear, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance where people walk through the line.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
What happens on site
Survey traffic movements
The free site survey looks at vehicle sizes, turning paths and where drivers currently clip posts or kerbs. You receive a fixed written quote with post type and fixing.
Set out the line
Posts are set out to guide vehicles along the intended path, with spacing that reads as a line to drivers.
Hand over spares and records
Post and base details are recorded so replacements match, and spare posts can be left on site for busy locations. Staff are shown how a post is swapped on its base.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Low-profile deck bases | Shallow fixings for multi-storey decks where deep drilling is not permitted. |
| Bolt-down or socket bases | Bolt-down for existing slabs; socket bases allow posts to be replaced without new fixings. |
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |

Many times in normal use, as long as the impacts are the low-speed bumps it is designed for. A heavy vehicle running right over it, or a high-speed strike, can tear it. Manufacturers give guidance for their products.
