Permissions and groundwork in Abergavenny
Before digging near the kerb in Abergavenny we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Monmouthshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
Many private-land installations in Abergavenny 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 Monmouthshire County Council before posts go in.
Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation. 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
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.
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
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.
Finishes and options
| 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. |
What moves the price in Abergavenny
Two Abergavenny jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Surface type and reinstatement
- Number of posts and the product chosen
- Making safe before the replacement
Keeping them working
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. 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 Abergavenny are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
