Permissions and groundwork in Newport, Newport
Before digging near the kerb in Newport, Newport we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Newport City Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Newport, Newport is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Newport City Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement matches the surface, whether tarmac, block paving, flags or turf. 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians, wheelchair users or buggies pass between posts.
- Fit contrasting or reflective bands near the top so posts are visible, as Inclusive Mobility guidance recommends.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Caps and heads | Dome, flat, chamfered or ball tops, with welded caps to keep water out of hollow posts. |
| Concrete infill | Adds mass and stiffness and makes the post harder to cut or dent. Usually specified for security and impact positions. |
| Tube size and wall thickness | Common diameters include 76, 114, 140, 168 and 219 mm, with heavier walls for service yards and vehicle routes. |
