Permissions and groundwork in Llantwit Major
In Llantwit Major the highway authority for local roads is Vale of Glamorgan 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 Llantwit Major is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Vale of Glamorgan Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
What moves the price in Llantwit Major

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 Llantwit Major are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Llantwit Major?
Before digging near the kerb in Llantwit Major we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Vale of Glamorgan 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 Llantwit Major?
In Llantwit Major, 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.
