Permissions and groundwork in Abergavenny
Before digging near the kerb in Abergavenny we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Monmouthshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
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 (Monmouthshire County Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| 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. |
Pricing bollard repairs in Abergavenny

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. Keep a record of bollard types, suppliers, key numbers and colours on site, so a repair can be quoted and matched quickly when it is needed.
