Permissions and groundwork in Hillingdon
The highway authority for local roads in Hillingdon is Hillingdon 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 Hillingdon is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Hillingdon Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Verges are often softer than they look, and the edges of car parks may be thin tarmac over hardcore, so the foundation is sized to the ground found. 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.
- Do not describe unrated posts as anti-ram or HVM protection in risk assessments or to insurers.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians, wheelchair users or buggies pass between posts.
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Finishes | Hot-dip galvanised, then powder-coated in a RAL colour if wanted. Black, grey, yellow and green are common. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective or contrasting bands near the top for drivers at night and for partially sighted pedestrians. |
| Tube size and wall thickness | Common diameters include 76, 114, 140, 168 and 219 mm, with heavier walls for service yards and vehicle routes. |

Do I need consent for steel security bollards on a public footway in Hillingdon?
Hillingdon Council is the highway authority covering Hillingdon'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 Hillingdon?
In Hillingdon, 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.
Why fill a steel bollard with concrete?
Concrete infill adds weight and stiffness, so the post dents less and is harder to cut. It also stops water collecting inside a hollow tube. It is usual for security and impact positions.
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.
