What we check first in Neath
In Neath the highway authority for local roads is Neath Port Talbot 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 Neath is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Neath Port Talbot Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
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.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Finishes and options
| 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. |

Common questions
Do you carry out replacement bollards in Neath?
We cover all of Neath (SA10 and SA11) and the rest of Neath Port Talbot. We also work in Clydach, Port Talbot and Swansea.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Neath?
Before digging near the kerb in Neath we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Neath Port Talbot Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
What's a typical price for replacement bollards in Neath?
In Neath, 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.
Should we replace like-for-like or upgrade?
Like-for-like if the post was hit once in an unusual incident. Consider an upgrade if the same position is struck repeatedly or the post no longer suits how the site is used. The survey will show which makes sense.
Can you replace just one bollard in a line?
Yes. We measure and match the existing posts so the new one sits in line at the same height and finish. If the original product is no longer made, we show you a close equivalent first.
