Permissions and groundwork in Haringey
The highway authority for local roads in Haringey is Haringey Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. Flexible bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Many private-land installations in Haringey 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 Haringey Council before posts go in.
Flexible bollards put repeated load on their fixings, because every knock rocks the base. Anchors therefore need sound concrete with enough edge distance; anchoring into thin, cracked or weak surfaces means the base works loose within weeks.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
From survey to handover
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.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Colours and reflective sleeves | Yellow, black, red, white or orange, with reflective sleeves for visibility in low light. |
| Sprung-base bollards | A rigid post on a heavy spring or elastomer base that tilts and returns. Looks like a conventional bollard. |
| Low-profile deck bases | Shallow fixings for multi-storey decks where deep drilling is not permitted. |
What affects the quote
Two Haringey jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Bolt-down or socket base
- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
Looking after them
After resurfacing or line repainting, check that the bases were not disturbed or painted over, and that posts still line up with the new markings. Keep a few spare posts on site where knocks are frequent, so a damaged one can be swapped before the line develops a gap.
If posts in Haringey are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Usually, yes, especially with socket bases designed for it. The post is removed and a new one fitted. If the base itself is damaged or loose, it is re-fixed or replaced at the same time.
