Before we dig in Llandudno
In Llandudno the highway authority for local roads is Conwy County Borough Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because concrete bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
If your site in Llandudno is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Conwy County Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Because concrete bollards are heavy, a weak foundation shows itself quickly as a tilt. Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close.
- Plan lifts with an exclusion zone and suitable lifting equipment, and record the method for the site.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
How the job runs
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.
Excavate and cast foundations
Small foundations are excavated, checked for services and cast with a dowel hole or sleeve at the right position and level.
Set the bollards
Each bollard is lowered onto a mortar bed with its dowel grouted in, checked plumb and aligned with its neighbours.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Surface finishes | Smooth, exposed aggregate, acid-etched or shot-blasted, chosen to suit paving and resist visible weathering. |
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
| Reconstituted stone | Crushed natural stone in a concrete mix, giving a Portland, buff or granite-like appearance for civic and heritage settings. |

How are concrete bollards fixed down?
Usually with a steel dowel at the base grouted into a small concrete foundation, so they cannot be pushed or rocked. Some designs have a root buried in the ground instead. Free-standing placement is used only for temporary layouts.
Are concrete bollards anti-ram?
Only if that specific product has been crash-tested. Weight alone does not make a bollard crash-rated, and an untested concrete post can crack or shear when hit hard. Tested concrete-clad products exist for security use.
