Consents, ground and services in Monmouth
In Monmouth the highway authority for local roads is Monmouthshire County 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 (Monmouthshire County Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further. Many repairs are really foundation repairs.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
- 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
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.
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. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
| Cassette clearing | Emptying silt and water from telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes and clearing their drainage. |
What moves the price in Monmouth
Two Monmouth 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
- Surface type and reinstatement
After installation
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.
For damaged or loose posts in Monmouth, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
