Consents, ground and services in Maesteg
Local roads and pavements in Maesteg are the responsibility of Bridgend County Borough Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
If your site in Maesteg is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Bridgend County Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base. Drainage outlets are tested by running water into the pit; where they no longer drain, the cause may be a collapsed pipe or a soakaway that has silted up, which may need a separate drainage repair quoted in writing.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.

What affects the quote
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Maesteg firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Rated bollards with manufacturer-specified procedures
- Visit frequency and contract length
- Traffic management needed on live roads
Looking after them
If the site changes how the entrance is used, such as longer opening hours or heavier delivery vehicles, mention it before the next visit so the service frequency and safety settings can be reconsidered. Between service visits, site staff can do a lot to keep bollards reliable: keep the head and surrounding road clear of leaves and grit, report any change in speed, noise or behaviour, keep a note of faults with the date and time, and never bypass or disconnect safety devices to keep an entrance open.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Maesteg.
