Consents, ground and services in Llantrisant
In Llantrisant the highway authority for local roads is Rhondda Cynon Taf 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 Llantrisant 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.
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. Because concrete bollards are heavy, a weak foundation shows itself quickly as a tilt.
- Use contrasting colours or bands so grey bollards stand out against grey paving.
- Plan lifts with an exclusion zone and suitable lifting equipment, and record the method for the site.
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |
| Surface finishes | Smooth, exposed aggregate, acid-etched or shot-blasted, chosen to suit paving and resist visible weathering. |
