Consents, ground and services in Hammersmith and Fulham
Hammersmith and Fulham Council is the highway authority covering Hammersmith and Fulham's local roads. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. 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 Hammersmith and Fulham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Hammersmith and Fulham Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Shopfronts often sit over cellars, coal holes, vaults and service entries, so what lies under the pavement can be more complicated than it looks. Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
- Check who owns the ground in front of the shop; if it is public highway, the highway authority's agreement is needed.
What happens on site
Agree the post type and positions
We agree unrated or tested posts with you, your landlord and any insurer or security adviser involved. A fixed written quote sets out the positions, foundations and reinstatement.
Arrange consents
If the posts will stand on public highway, the highway authority's agreement is needed before work starts. Landlord consent is usually needed for leased units.
Excavate and set the posts
Each position is hand-dug near services and taken to depth, then the post is set plumb in a reinforced concrete base. Work is planned around trading hours where possible.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts and suited to ram-raid risks where a tested product is requested. |
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
| Crash-rated bollards | Tested to IWA 14-1, ISO 22343-1 or PAS 68 for high-value premises or where a vehicle could build up speed. |
Pricing ram-raid bollards in Hammersmith and Fulham
Our London guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Hammersmith and Fulham firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
Keeping them working
Keep visibility bands clean, repaint chips before rust sets in on steel, and keep locks on removable posts lubricated so staff can actually use them. Check them after any knock, because a post that has been hit may have cracked its foundation even if it still looks straight.
For damaged or loose posts in Hammersmith and Fulham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Will bollards stop an ATM being ripped out?
Correctly placed bollards stop a vehicle getting close enough to attach chains or ram the surround. They work alongside the machine's own anchoring and the bank's security measures. Positions need to cover the wall either side of the ATM as well as the front.
Can we still take deliveries through the front?
Yes, if one or more positions are removable. Staff unlock and lift out the post for deliveries, then refit it. The socket is designed to sit flush when the post is out.
