Consents, ground and services in Caernarfon
In Caernarfon the highway authority for local roads is Gwynedd Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
If your site in Caernarfon is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Gwynedd Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Base-plate repairs depend on the slab: if the concrete has cracked or crumbled around the anchors, it is cut back and repaired before new fixings go in. Many repairs are really foundation repairs.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.

We confirm the cost of the visit and the expected work in writing before anyone attends. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
| Re-fixing base plates | New resin anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate to spread the load, or a slab repair before re-fixing. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
Pricing bollard repairs in Caernarfon
Two Caernarfon jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Access, traffic management and working hours
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Whether foundations or slabs need breaking out
Keeping them working
Most repair call-outs come from small problems left too long. 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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Caernarfon.

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.

Yes. We repair fixed, removable, telescopic, fold-down and other manual bollards whoever installed them. Photographs help us identify the type and find matching parts.
