What we check first in Coedpoeth
In Coedpoeth the highway authority for local roads is Wrexham County Borough Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
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 (Wrexham County Borough Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Cables and pipes are often laid close to existing posts after they were installed, so breaking out is done carefully and services are traced first. Backfilling in compacted layers stops later settlement, which otherwise shows as a dip in the new surface.
- In conservation areas, check before removing historic bollards, as consent may be needed or retention expected.
- Collect and dispose of hydraulic fluid and waste properly rather than leaving it in the ground.
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.
Remove posts and foundations
Posts are cut off or extracted, foundations broken out where agreed, and sockets, cassettes and ducts removed or capped.
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 |
|---|---|
| Full extraction | Post and foundation broken out, leaving clear ground for resurfacing or new works. |
| Lighting bollard removal | Supply made dead and cables terminated or removed by a qualified electrician before posts are lifted. |
| Automatic bollard decommissioning | Electrical isolation, hydraulic drain-down, cassette removal and capping of ducts. |
What affects the quote
When we price bollard removal jobs in Coedpoeth, these make the biggest difference:
- Access, working hours and waste disposal
- 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. If foundations were left in place, record their positions on site drawings so future contractors are not surprised by buried concrete.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Coedpoeth.
Common questions
Do you carry out bollard removal jobs in Coedpoeth?
We cover all of Coedpoeth (LL14) and the rest of Wrexham. We also work in Wrexham, Mold and Deeside.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Coedpoeth?
Before digging near the kerb in Coedpoeth we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Wrexham County Borough 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 Coedpoeth?
In Coedpoeth, 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.
Will the surface look patched after removal?
On block paving it can be nearly invisible, as the blocks are relaid. Tarmac, resin and concrete usually show a patch, especially on older weathered surfaces. Timing removal before resurfacing avoids that.
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.
