What we check first in Maesteg
In Maesteg the highway authority for local roads is Bridgend County Borough Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because concrete bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
Many private-land installations in Maesteg 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 Bridgend County Borough Council before posts go in.
Services under footways are traced before excavation. Each post sits on a concrete base on firm ground, and on soft verges or made ground the base is deepened or widened to suit.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
- Plan lifts with an exclusion zone and suitable lifting equipment, and record the method for the site.
Installation, step by step
Survey and choose
A free site survey looks at the setting, ground, delivery access and where a lifting vehicle can stand. You receive a fixed written quote with the product, finish and fixing.
Set the bollards
Each bollard is lowered onto a mortar bed with its dowel grouted in, checked plumb and aligned with its neighbours.
Reinstate and clean
Paving is made good around each base and the bollards are cleaned of mortar and handling marks.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Surface finishes | Smooth, exposed aggregate, acid-etched or shot-blasted, chosen to suit paving and resist visible weathering. |
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
What affects the quote
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Maesteg firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
- Precast concrete or reconstituted stone
- Size, shape and surface finish
After installation
Concrete bollards need very little: occasional washing, removal of graffiti with suitable cleaners, and checks for chips, cracks and lean. If a line is regularly struck by vehicles, consider whether steel cores, a tested product or a different layout would suit better.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Maesteg.

Can concrete bollards be moved later?
Yes, though it takes lifting equipment. Dowel-fixed bollards can be lifted off once the grout is broken out, and the foundation removed or reused. Plan for it if you think the layout may change.
Should we use concrete or steel bollards?
Concrete suits landscaped and public spaces where appearance and low maintenance matter and where impacts are rare. Steel suits car parks and yards where knocks are frequent, because it bends rather than shatters. Many schemes use both in different places.
