Consents, ground and services in Coedpoeth
Local roads and pavements in Coedpoeth are the responsibility of Wrexham 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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Wrexham County Borough Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Original stone flags and setts are reused wherever possible, because new stone rarely matches weathered material. Excavation is by hand, positions are checked against service records and scanning, and anything unexpected is recorded rather than broken through.
- On public highway, agree positions and specification with the highway authority.
- Avoid chains between posts on pedestrian routes, which can trip blind and partially sighted people.
From survey to handover
Record what is there
The free site survey records existing bollards, their pattern, spacing, height and condition, and the paving they sit in. You receive a fixed written quote covering new castings, resets and reinstatement.
Lift paving carefully
Natural stone flags, setts and kerbs are lifted by hand, numbered where needed and stored for relaying.
Set the post
Each bollard is set plumb in concrete with its root, flange or core, at a height that matches its neighbours. Original posts being reset are cleaned and checked for cracks first.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Steel cores and covers | Cast covers over root-fixed steel or crash-tested cores for strength without changing the look. |
| Paint finishes | Primed and painted, commonly black, with traditional highlights in gold or white on bands and crests where appropriate. |
| Cast aluminium | Lighter and easier to handle, with traditional patterns, but less robust and not always accepted in sensitive settings. |
What affects the quote
Two Coedpoeth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Resetting or repairing original bollards
- Grey iron, ductile iron or cast aluminium
- Painting, highlights and crest details
Keeping them working
Cast iron lasts well if its paint is kept intact. Inspect annually for chips, rust spots and cracks, particularly at the base where water and grit collect.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Coedpoeth.

Grey cast iron or ductile iron for new heritage bollards?
Ductile iron for any position that vehicles might strike, because it bends rather than shatters. Grey cast iron suits low-risk positions or matching existing grey iron posts exactly. Both take the same traditional patterns.
Can you match the old bollards on our street?
Often, yes. Many traditional patterns are still cast, and close equivalents exist for others. For rare patterns, a casting can sometimes be made from an existing post, though that takes longer.
