What we check first in Wrexham
Local roads and pavements in Wrexham 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.
Utility records, radar scanning and hand-dug trial holes come before any machine work, and service diversions can take longer than the bollard installation itself. Reinstatement matches paving, tactile surfaces and kerbs.
- Ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed, particularly in conservation areas or near listed buildings.
- Confirm who owns the land: works on public highway usually need the highway authority's agreement, and permanent street furniture there may need a licence.
How the job runs
Start from the specification
We work from the specification issued by your security adviser or the manufacturer: product, rating, positions and foundation drawing. If no specification exists yet, we can put you in touch with the manufacturer's technical team, but we do not set the threat level ourselves.
Set out and excavate
Positions are set out to the drawing and excavated to the tested depth and width, with shoring where the ground needs it. Spoil is removed as work progresses.
Fix reinforcement and set the posts
The reinforcement cage is built to the drawing and the bollards are held to line and level in templates. Concrete is poured to the specified grade, with samples taken for testing if the specification calls for them.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Rated removable or automatic posts | Where an entrance must open for deliveries or emergency vehicles, rated removable, retractable or automatic models are available. Check that the rating stated is for the exact model and position you are buying. |
| Decorative covers | Stainless steel, cast or polymer sleeves can be fitted over the steel core to suit a streetscape. Use covers supplied or approved by the manufacturer so the tested product is not altered. |
| Static rated bollards | Fixed posts for permanent lines where vehicles never need to pass. They are a straightforward rated option to install and maintain. |
What moves the price in Wrexham
When we price crash-rated bollards in Wrexham, these make the biggest difference:
- Buried services, diversions and ground investigation
- Covers, finishes and any integrated lighting
- Reinstatement of natural stone, tactile paving or specialist surfaces
After installation
Static rated bollards need little routine work, but they should be inspected periodically and always after any impact. Keep inspection records with the original test certificate so the line's condition can be shown to insurers or a security adviser.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Wrexham.

No. Scheme design and threat assessment belong with your security adviser, a specialist consultant or the manufacturer's technical team. We install the products they specify, to the tested foundation, and work alongside them on site so the build matches the design.
