Permissions and groundwork in Mold
Local roads and pavements in Mold are the responsibility of Flintshire County 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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Flintshire County Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Foundations are rarely the size anyone expects. Backfilling in compacted layers stops later settlement, which otherwise shows as a dip in the new surface.
- Collect and dispose of hydraulic fluid and waste properly rather than leaving it in the ground.
- In conservation areas, check before removing historic bollards, as consent may be needed or retention expected.
From survey to handover
Survey what is in the ground
The free site survey identifies bollard types, likely foundation sizes, any power or ducts, and what the area will be used for next. You receive a fixed written quote for the agreed level of removal.
Check consents and reasons
Before removal, check whether the bollards were required by a planning condition, a lease, a security plan or the highway authority, and whether they protect something such as a meter or a building corner.
Backfill and reinstate
Holes are backfilled in compacted layers and the surface reinstated to match, so there is no settlement or trip edge.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cut off below surface | Post removed at or below finished level, foundation left in place and the surface patched. Quick and low-disruption. |
| Automatic bollard decommissioning | Electrical isolation, hydraulic drain-down, cassette removal and capping of ducts. |
| Relocation | Careful removal of reusable posts and reinstallation in new positions on the same site. |
Pricing bollard removal jobs in Mold
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Mold firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Electrical isolation and hydraulic drain-down
- Cutting off or full foundation extraction
- Surface type and reinstatement
After installation
Keep any keys, manuals and records from removed automatic bollards until the controller and cabling have also been dealt with, as they help an electrician confirm what was connected. After removal, keep an eye on reinstated areas for settlement over the following months, particularly where large foundations were broken out.
If posts in Mold are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Questions about bollard removal jobs in Mold
Which parts of Mold do you cover for bollard removal jobs?
We cover all of Mold (CH7) and the rest of Flintshire. We also work in Deeside, Flint and Coedpoeth.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Mold?
Before digging near the kerb in Mold we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Flintshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
How much do bollard removal jobs cost in Mold?
In Mold, typically £80–£335 per post removed with footing, surface made good, plus VAT (£95–£395 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £285 plus VAT, using our Wales guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Should bollards be cut off or fully removed?
Cut off if the area is staying as it is and nothing will be built or dug there later. Fully remove if you are resurfacing, planting or installing something new, because buried concrete gets in the way. The quote can price both.
Do we need permission to remove bollards?
Sometimes. Bollards required by a planning condition, lease, security plan or the highway authority should not be removed without checking. Historic bollards in conservation areas may also be protected.
