Computer-generated imageAbout flexible bollards in Mold
Polyurethane and spring-based bollards that bend when hit and return upright, for car parks, depots and lane separation. In Mold, that tends to mean sites such as small industrial units, community buildings and filling-station forecourts.
We work across CH7 — Mold itself and places including Mynydd Isa, Northop Hall, Drury and Treuddyn. Jobs in Mold can be combined with work in Deeside (4.9 miles), Flint (5.4 miles), Coedpoeth (8.5 miles) and Wrexham (10.4 miles) (straight-line distances).

What we check first in Mold
Before digging near the kerb in Mold we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Flintshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
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 (Flintshire County Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Where posts go in a line across a drainage fall, positions avoid channels and gullies. On tarmac, a small concrete pad or a socket base cast in concrete is the reliable option.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
- Keep pedestrian gaps and routes clear, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance where people walk through the line.
How the job runs
Check the surface
Slabs and decks are checked for thickness, reinforcement and waterproofing before drilling. Weak tarmac may need a concrete pad or socket base.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.
Hand over spares and records
Post and base details are recorded so replacements match, and spare posts can be left on site for busy locations. Staff are shown how a post is swapped on its base.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |
| Low-profile deck bases | Shallow fixings for multi-storey decks where deep drilling is not permitted. |
| Colours and reflective sleeves | Yellow, black, red, white or orange, with reflective sleeves for visibility in low light. |
What moves the price in Mold
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Mold firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Deck scanning and restrictions on drilling
- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
- Out-of-hours working in busy car parks
Keeping them working
Clean reflective sleeves so they stay visible, and replace them when they fade or peel. Keep a few spare posts on site where knocks are frequent, so a damaged one can be swapped before the line develops a gap.
For damaged or loose posts in Mold, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Flexible bollards in Mold: FAQs
Which parts of Mold do you cover for flexible bollards?
We cover all of Mold (CH7) and the rest of Flintshire. We also work in Deeside, Flint and Coedpoeth.
Do I need consent for flexible bollards on a public footway in Mold?
In Mold the highway authority for local roads is Flintshire County Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because flexible bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
How much do flexible bollards cost in Mold?
In Mold, typically £185–£575 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £425 plus VAT, using our Wales guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can a damaged flexible post be replaced on the same base?
Usually, yes, especially with socket bases designed for it. The post is removed and a new one fitted. If the base itself is damaged or loose, it is re-fixed or replaced at the same time.
Do flexible bollards damage vehicles?
Typically very little in a low-speed knock, which is a large part of their appeal. They may leave a scuff on paintwork. A rigid post in the same position would usually dent the vehicle and bend itself.
