Before we dig in Mountain Ash
Local roads and pavements in Mountain Ash are the responsibility of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough 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.
If your site in Mountain Ash is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. If the old foundation is cracked from the impact, it is removed entirely; if it is sound and suits the new post, reuse can reduce disruption.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
What affects the quote
When we price replacement bollards in Mountain Ash, these make the biggest difference:
- Size and condition of the old foundation
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Number of posts and the product chosen
After installation
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.
For damaged or loose posts in Mountain Ash, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

A driver hit our bollard and left: what should we do?
Make the area safe, photograph the damage and report it if the post is on public land. Check whether CCTV covered the area. A written quote from us can then support any claim.
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.
