Permissions and groundwork in Dukinfield
The highway authority for local roads in Dukinfield is Tameside Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Steel security bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Tameside Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Reinstatement matches the surface, whether tarmac, block paving, flags or turf. Root-fixed posts need firm ground and enough depth to carry the post's root plus a concrete surround.
- Fit contrasting or reflective bands near the top so posts are visible, as Inclusive Mobility guidance recommends.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians, wheelchair users or buggies pass between posts.
From survey to handover
Survey and set out
A free site survey confirms positions, surfaces, buried services and whether root-fixing or base plates suit the ground. You receive a fixed written quote listing post size, finish and fixing.
Break out and excavate
For root-fixed posts, the surface is cut neatly and each hole is dug to depth, by hand near known services. For base plates, the slab is checked for thickness and soundness.
Reinstate and finish
The surface around each post is made good to match, and reflective bands are fitted. Damaged galvanising from handling is touched up.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Caps and heads | Dome, flat, chamfered or ball tops, with welded caps to keep water out of hollow posts. |
| Tube size and wall thickness | Common diameters include 76, 114, 140, 168 and 219 mm, with heavier walls for service yards and vehicle routes. |
| Finishes | Hot-dip galvanised, then powder-coated in a RAL colour if wanted. Black, grey, yellow and green are common. |
What moves the price in Dukinfield

Keeping them working
Reflective bands fade and peel and are easy to renew. Check periodically for impact damage, loose base plates and cracked surfacing around the root.
