Permissions and groundwork in Havering
The highway authority for local roads in Havering is Havering Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. Steel security bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Havering is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Havering Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Root-fixed posts need firm ground and enough depth to carry the post's root plus a concrete surround. Reinstatement matches the surface, whether tarmac, block paving, flags or turf.
- Do not describe unrated posts as anti-ram or HVM protection in risk assessments or to insurers.
- Check whether the land is public highway or adopted verge before installing; the highway authority's agreement is usually needed.
What happens on site
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Concrete infill | Adds mass and stiffness and makes the post harder to cut or dent. Usually specified for security and impact positions. |
| Base-plated | Bolted to a sound concrete slab with resin anchors. Quick to fit and easy to remove later, suited to light-duty and indoor use. |
| Caps and heads | Dome, flat, chamfered or ball tops, with welded caps to keep water out of hollow posts. |
Pricing steel security bollards in Havering
Our London guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Havering firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Ground conditions and buried services
- Number of posts and length of the line
- Tube diameter, wall thickness and concrete infill
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Havering.
Common questions

We cover all of Havering (RM14, RM11, RM12, RM2, RM3 and RM1) and the rest of London. We also work in South Ockendon, Barking and Dagenham and Brentwood.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Havering?
Havering Council is the highway authority covering Havering'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.
How much do steel security bollards cost in Havering?
In Havering, typically £225–£1,045 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£265–£1,245 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £675 plus VAT, using our London guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Are unrated steel bollards anti-ram?
No. They have not been crash-tested, so their performance against a deliberate vehicle attack is unknown. They are suited to nuisance parking and low-speed knocks; tested products are needed where an attack is the concern.
Will galvanised posts rust?
Hot-dip galvanising protects steel for a long time in normal outdoor conditions. Powder coat over the galvanising adds colour and extra protection. Touch up chips promptly in coastal or heavily salted locations.
