Before we dig in Milford Haven
In Milford Haven 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 Milford Haven 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.
Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath. 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.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.

Looking after them
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.
