Permissions and groundwork in Haverfordwest
In Haverfordwest the highway authority for local roads is Pembrokeshire County 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 Haverfordwest is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Pembrokeshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. Reinstatement matches what is there, whether tarmac, block paving, flags, resin or turf, though older or weathered surfaces may show a visible patch.
- 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.
What happens on site
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
What moves the price in Haverfordwest
Two Haverfordwest jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Access, traffic management and working hours
- Making safe before the main repair
- Availability of matching parts, locks and caps
Keeping them working
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. 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 Haverfordwest.
