What we check first in Deeside
Before digging near the kerb in Deeside 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.
Many private-land installations in Deeside need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Flintshire County Council before posts go in.
Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath. Many repairs are really foundation repairs.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
From survey to handover
Receive a written price
We confirm the cost of the visit and the expected work in writing before anyone attends. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
Make safe if needed
Where a post is a hazard now, the first step can be to make it safe by removing or capping it, priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
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 |

| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |

Questions about bollard repairs in Deeside
Do you carry out bollard repairs in Deeside?
We cover all of Deeside (CH5) and the rest of Flintshire. We also work in Flint, Mold and Coedpoeth.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Deeside?
Local roads and pavements in Deeside 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.
What's a typical price for bollard repairs in Deeside?
In Deeside, typically £115–£435 per visit, typically one to three posts, plus VAT (£135–£515 including VAT for homeowners), using our Wales guide prices. We confirm the visit price in writing before attending.
Why does our base-plated bollard keep working loose?
Usually because the anchors are in weak, cracked or thin concrete, or too close to an edge or joint. Re-tightening does not last. New anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate or a slab repair is the lasting fix.
Is a bollard repair visit free?
No. Repairs are paid visits, and we give you the price in writing before anyone attends. Sending photographs first helps us price accurately and bring the right parts.
