Permissions and groundwork in Hammersmith and Fulham
In Hammersmith and Fulham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hammersmith and Fulham 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.
Many private-land installations in Hammersmith and Fulham 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 Hammersmith and Fulham Council before posts go in.
Root-fixed posts need firm ground and enough depth to carry the post's root plus a concrete surround. Service runs commonly follow kerb lines and verges, which is exactly where steel posts tend to go, so positions are checked with records and scanning before digging.
- Fit contrasting or reflective bands near the top so posts are visible, as Inclusive Mobility guidance recommends.
- Do not describe unrated posts as anti-ram or HVM protection in risk assessments or to insurers.
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.
Set the posts
Posts are set plumb and to a consistent height along the line, and concreted in. Base-plated posts are drilled, anchored with resin and torqued once cured.
Fill and cap
Where specified, posts are filled with concrete and capped so water cannot collect inside the tube.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Concrete infill | Adds mass and stiffness and makes the post harder to cut or dent. Usually specified for security and impact positions. |
| Caps and heads | Dome, flat, chamfered or ball tops, with welded caps to keep water out of hollow posts. |
| 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 Hammersmith and Fulham
Two Hammersmith and Fulham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Finish: galvanised only or powder-coated
- Number of posts and length of the line
- Surface reinstatement such as block paving or tarmac
Keeping them working
Check periodically for impact damage, loose base plates and cracked surfacing around the root. Galvanised steel posts need little attention for years at a time.
For damaged or loose posts in Hammersmith and Fulham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
