What we check first in Haverfordwest
Local roads and pavements in Haverfordwest are the responsibility of Pembrokeshire County 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.
Many private-land installations in Haverfordwest need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Pembrokeshire County Council before posts go in.
On tarmac, a small concrete pad or a socket base cast in concrete is the reliable option. Anchors therefore need sound concrete with enough edge distance; anchoring into thin, cracked or weak surfaces means the base works loose within weeks.
- Keep pedestrian gaps and routes clear, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance where people walk through the line.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |
Pricing flexible bollards in Haverfordwest
Two Haverfordwest jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Out-of-hours working in busy car parks
- Number of posts and length of line
- Surface condition and need for concrete pads
Keeping them working
Keep a few spare posts on site where knocks are frequent, so a damaged one can be swapped before the line develops a gap. Check flexible bollards for splits, permanent bends and loose bases, and tighten or replace fixings that have worked loose.
If posts in Haverfordwest are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
