Our Construction Hoarding Process

Hoarding survey

Hoarding survey

Survey – Lavastar offer free site surveys with every construction site hoarding we install. This allows us to take measurements, check for services, decide on the appropriate fixing method and offer the most accurate quote possible.

Installation of hoarding

Installation of hoarding

Install – Lavastar contractors install all of our own site hoardings. Whether this is an on-ground or an in-ground hoarding, our skilled and CSCS certified teams can work day or night to get the job done to an industry leading standard.

Wind loading diagrams and calculations

Wind loading diagrams and calculations

Wind loadings – Although not essential, we highly recommend you opt for our wind loading safety diagrams. Starting from £500, they give peace of mind and adhere to the strictest health and safety and insurance requirements.

Site hoarding painting

Site hoarding painting

Painting – Lavastar would always recommend painting a building hoarding which is not going to be clad in aluminium composite panels. This is because the paint helps to seal the wood from the elements and preserve it for longer.

Installation of iron mesh site gates

Installation of iron mesh site gates

Iron gates – Lavastar can supply and install iron mesh gates creating easy vehicle or pedestrian access into your site. Site hoarding gates are installed at the same time as the wooden building site fencing.

Installation of LED bulkhead lights

Installation of LED bulkhead lights

Lighting – Some form of lighting is often a health and safety requirement for building sites with hoardings in place. Our fully qualified electricians can make quick work of this using energy saving LED bulkhead lights.

Who We Work For & What They Say

On many occasions Lavastar over delivered on quality of the work, creativity on our design and the delivery times were always on time or before. I would highly recommend Lavastar to other corporate clients.

Construction Hoarding FAQs

What Is a construction hoarding?

Construction site hoarding is a robust boundary used to enclose a building site or construction area. It serves multiple purposes, including enhancing site security, protecting workers, and keeping the public safe. Hoarding also helps to control access to the site and maintain privacy.

What are the hoarding regulations in the UK?

Construction site hoarding is governed by various UK regulations to ensure safety, security, and public protection. These regulations include requirements for height, structural integrity, and safety signage. Additionally, hoarding must meet the standards set out in the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines. We help you navigate these regulations, ensuring your hoarding fully complies with UK law.

Do you need planning permission for site hoarding?

Planning permission for construction hoardings depends on which type you opt for and whether you choose to include a graphic design. Typically, plain timber site hoarding does not require planning permission. However, a design check certificate may be required from a qualified individual.

Current ruling legislation states that creative construction hoarding and building site panels with advertisements must qualify for ‘deemed consent. ‘ Should printed construction hoarding meet these criteria, planning permission would not be needed.

If your site hoarding design requires planning permission, Lavastar will handle the application process. As part of our construction service, we are happy to apply for planning permission on your behalf.

Is hoarding classed as temporary works?

Yes, construction site hoarding is generally considered a form of temporary work. It’s installed for the construction project’s duration and removed once completed. Despite being temporary, it must be robust and compliant with safety regulations. Lavastar provides temporary and semi-permanent hoarding solutions to suit your project’s duration and needs.

Are construction site hoardings a legal requirement?

In most cases, yes, construction site hoardings are a legal requirement. They help protect the public, workers, and the site itself by preventing unauthorised access and improving safety. The legal obligation varies depending on the project’s scope and location, but the law often requires hoarding to safeguard everyone involved.

When must a construction site hoarding be set up?

Construction site hoarding must be set up before any major work begins. This ensures that the area is secure and that safety measures are in place from the start.

What are construction site hoardings made from?

Construction site hoardings are typically made from timber, steel, or composite materials. At Lavastar, we specialise in high-quality timber hoarding, which is durable, secure, and customisable. Depending on your project needs, hoarding can be designed to feature branding, advertising, or additional features for increased visibility.

We also use Dibond, or Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP), which consists of two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a solid plastic core. This combination makes it lightweight yet highly durable and resistant to weather, corrosion, and impact.

What size does a construction site hoarding need to be?

Construction site hoardings have no specific height restrictions, but they should be tall enough to deter easy climbing. Typically, hoardings are designed to be large and sturdy, helping to prevent unauthorised access and safeguard valuable equipment on-site.

Who is responsible for hoarding construction sites?

The main contractor or developer is generally responsible for setting up and maintaining construction site hoarding. They are accountable for ensuring the hoarding is safe, secure, and compliant with all relevant regulations. Lavastar offers a complete service, from design to installation, to ensure your hoarding is properly managed and maintained.

What are site hoarding safety requirements?

Site hoardings must meet certain safety standards to protect the public and the workers on-site. This includes ensuring the hoarding is structurally sound, with secure posts, foundations, and no sharp edges. Proper signage should be displayed to warn of any risks, and access points should be clearly marked. Lavastar ensures that all our hoarding installations meet or exceed these safety requirements.

How often do hoardings need to be maintained?

The frequency of hoarding maintenance depends on the material used and the project’s duration. Timber hoardings may require periodic checks for wear and tear. Construction hoarding should also be regularly inspected for structural integrity and cleanliness, especially if it’s being used for advertising purposes. At Lavastar, we offer maintenance services to keep your hoarding in top condition throughout the project.

Is the site hoarding installation outsourced?

Our installations are not outsourced. We provide both in-ground and on-ground building site hoarding installation. Our CSCS-certified site hoarding installation team works to the highest standards and has all the requisite skills to install your perimeter hoardings securely.

What are the alternatives to construction hoarding?

Temporary site fencing is commonplace when a building site is at the beginning or end of its development. This temporary hoarding is a cost-effective solution that sits on the ground and offers moderate site security while remaining mobile if necessary. Heras fencing is another alternative that may be more suitable to screen off an area temporarily. Lavastar and Panthera can brand these fencing panels with mesh-printed banners to ensure your site is still getting the relevant message out to passers-by.
