What we check first in Maesteg
In Maesteg the highway authority for local roads is Bridgend County Borough Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
Many private-land installations in Maesteg need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Bridgend County Borough Council before posts go in.
Where a replacement is being made after an impact, the surrounding paving and kerbs are checked as well, because a vehicle that bent a post has often lifted or cracked the surface beside it, and that damage is included in the quote rather than left for later. Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
Installation, step by step

Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.

What moves the price in Maesteg
When we price replacement bollards in Maesteg, these make the biggest difference:
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Making safe before the replacement
After installation
A single impact on a rarely struck post is bad luck; repeated strikes in the same spot point to a layout problem, such as a tight turn or a missing wheel stop, that a stronger bollard alone will not solve. Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match.
For damaged or loose posts in Maesteg, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
