Before we dig in Holyhead
Before digging near the kerb in Holyhead we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Isle of Anglesey County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Holyhead is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Isle of Anglesey County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Multi-storey and rooftop decks are a special case: slabs may be post-tensioned or carry waterproofing and heating, so drilling depth and positions are agreed with the building owner and scanned first. On tarmac, a small concrete pad or a socket base cast in concrete is the reliable option.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
From survey to handover
Survey traffic movements
The free site survey looks at vehicle sizes, turning paths and where drivers currently clip posts or kerbs. You receive a fixed written quote with post type and fixing.
Set out the line
Posts are set out to guide vehicles along the intended path, with spacing that reads as a line to drivers.
Fix the bases
Holes are drilled and cleaned, resin anchors or bolts are set and the bases fixed and torqued once cured. Socket bases are set flush in concrete.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Sprung-base bollards | A rigid post on a heavy spring or elastomer base that tilts and returns. Looks like a conventional bollard. |
| Low-profile deck bases | Shallow fixings for multi-storey decks where deep drilling is not permitted. |
| Polyurethane posts | Flex along their length and return to shape. Gentle on vehicles and common in car parks and on forecourts. |
Pricing flexible bollards in Holyhead

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.
