What we check first in Porthcawl
Before digging near the kerb in Porthcawl we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Bridgend County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Porthcawl 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.
Reinstatement matches what is there, whether tarmac, block paving, flags, resin or turf, though older or weathered surfaces may show a visible patch. Many repairs are really foundation repairs.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
How the job runs
Send photos and details
Tell us what has happened and send photographs of each affected post, close up and from a distance, with the location. That lets us identify the bollard type and the likely repair.
Carry out the repair
The crew carries out the agreed work. If they find something different, such as a cracked slab under a base plate, they stop and we price the extra work in writing before continuing.
Record and hand back
The repaired posts are checked, the surface is made good and photographs are sent so you have a record for your maintenance file.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
Pricing bollard repairs in Porthcawl
Two Porthcawl jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Type of repair and number of posts
- Access, traffic management and working hours
- Making safe before the main repair
Keeping them working
Lubricating locks a few times a year, lifting removable and telescopic posts periodically, keeping cassettes clear of grit, touching up chipped paint and checking for lean after knocks will prevent many of them. Most repair call-outs come from small problems left too long.
For damaged or loose posts in Porthcawl, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
