Flexible bollards are traffic management products, not barriers, and will not stop a vehicle that is driven at them. In Coedpoeth, that tends to mean sites such as small industrial units, local parades and high street shopfronts.
We work across LL14 — Coedpoeth itself and places including Rhosllannerchrugog, Pen-y-cae, Rhostyllen and Cefn-bychan. Jobs in Coedpoeth can be combined with work in Wrexham (3 miles), Mold (8.5 miles), Deeside (10.2 miles) and Flint (13.5 miles) (straight-line distances).

- Drive-thru lanes and fuel forecourts
What we check first in Coedpoeth
Before digging near the kerb in Coedpoeth we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Wrexham County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Coedpoeth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Wrexham County Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Where posts go in a line across a drainage fall, positions avoid channels and gullies. Flexible bollards put repeated load on their fixings, because every knock rocks the base.
- 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.
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.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Low-profile deck bases | Shallow fixings for multi-storey decks where deep drilling is not permitted. |
| Heights and diameters | Commonly 750–1,000 mm high and around 80–200 mm diameter, with slimmer wand-style posts for lane lines. |
| Polyurethane posts | Flex along their length and return to shape. Gentle on vehicles and common in car parks and on forecourts. |
What moves the price in Coedpoeth
Two Coedpoeth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Out-of-hours working in busy car parks
- Bolt-down or socket base
- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
Looking after them
Keep a few spare posts on site where knocks are frequent, so a damaged one can be swapped before the line develops a gap. Posts exposed to strong sunlight slowly lose flexibility and colour, and eventually crack; replacing the post on its existing base is usually quick.
For damaged or loose posts in Coedpoeth, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Will a flexible bollard stop a car?
No. It is designed to bend and recover, so a car can push past it. It marks the line and discourages drivers from crossing it. Where a vehicle must be physically stopped, use a rigid bollard.
Can flexible bollards go in a multi-storey car park?
Yes, often with low-profile bases. The deck has to be checked first, as some slabs contain tendons or waterproofing that must not be drilled. The building owner usually needs to agree the fixing method.
