Permissions and groundwork in Deeside
Before digging near the kerb in Deeside we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Flintshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Deeside is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Flintshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch. Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
Installation, step by step
Make safe
If a broken post or stub is a hazard, it can be removed or capped first. That is priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
Remove the old bollard
The damaged post is cut or extracted and the old foundation broken out, checking for services as the hole is opened.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
Pricing replacement bollards in Deeside
Two Deeside jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
Looking after them
After replacement, look at why the post failed. 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.
If posts in Deeside are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
