In the town of Mold, replacement bollards tend to go in at filling-station forecourts, community buildings and high street shopfronts. Replacement is the right answer when a post is too damaged to repair or no longer suits how the site is used.
We cover Mold's CH7 postcode district, including places such as Mynydd Isa, Northop Hall, Drury and Treuddyn. We also cover neighbouring Deeside (4.9 miles), Flint (5.4 miles), Coedpoeth (8.5 miles) and Wrexham (10.4 miles) — distances are straight-line.

What we check first in Mold
Local roads and pavements in Mold are the responsibility of Flintshire County Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
Many private-land installations in Mold 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 Flintshire County 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.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
What happens on site
Survey and match
At the free site survey we measure the existing bollards, photograph the line and check the foundations. A fixed written quote sets out like-for-like and any upgrade options.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
What moves the price in Mold
Two Mold jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Size and condition of the old foundation
After installation
Treat new posts as part of your routine inspections: check for lean, chips and faded bands. 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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Mold.
Questions about replacement bollards in Mold
Do you carry out replacement bollards in Mold?
We cover all of Mold (CH7) and the rest of Flintshire. We also work in Deeside, Flint and Coedpoeth.
Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Mold?
Before digging near the kerb in Mold 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.
How much do replacement bollards cost in Mold?
In Mold, typically £205–£1,145 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£245–£1,345 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £425 plus VAT, using our Wales guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can you provide paperwork for an insurance claim?
Yes. The written quote, photographs and itemised invoice are usually what an insurer asks for when recovering the cost from the driver responsible. We can provide them in the format your insurer needs.
Can a new bollard reuse the old foundation?
Sometimes, if the old foundation is sound and suits the new post. Foundations cracked by an impact are broken out. Rated bollards always need the manufacturer's tested foundation.
