Permissions and groundwork in Haverfordwest
Before digging near the kerb in Haverfordwest we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Pembrokeshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Haverfordwest is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Pembrokeshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Most of the work in a lighting bollard scheme is underground. Bases are set in firm ground with the cable entry facing the right way, and on paved routes the bollards are positioned so cables can be pulled through ducts rather than requiring surfaces to be lifted again later.
- In homes, new outdoor circuits are often notifiable building work; a registered electrician can usually self-certify it.
- Choose IP and IK ratings that suit the location, and do not rely on lighting bollards as vehicle barriers.
From survey to handover
Dig cable routes
Trenches are dug between bollard positions and the supply point, avoiding existing services, with cable or duct laid at a suitable depth and warning tape above.
Electrical connection
A qualified electrician installs the circuit protection, makes the connections in weatherproof enclosures and fits controls such as a photocell or timer.
Reinstate
Trenches are backfilled and surfaces made good, whether paving, tarmac, gravel or turf.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Mains LED bollards | Wired from a dedicated circuit for reliable lighting of paths and car parks. Needs cable routes and electrical certification. |
| Body materials and finishes | Powder-coated aluminium or steel, or stainless steel, in colours to suit the building. |
| Controls | Photocells, timers, motion sensors and dimming to light only when and as much as needed. |
Pricing lighting bollards in Haverfordwest

- Distance from the supply and circuit requirements
Looking after them
LED lighting bollards need far less maintenance than older lamp types, but they are not maintenance-free. Clean diffusers so dirt and algae do not dim the light, check seals and fixings, and look for impact damage, especially in car parks.
If posts in Haverfordwest are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Do you install lighting bollards in Haverfordwest?
We cover all of Haverfordwest (SA61 and SA62) and the rest of Pembrokeshire. We also work in Milford Haven.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement 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.
How much do lighting bollards cost in Haverfordwest?
In Haverfordwest, typically £335–£1,145 per bollard, installed with a qualified electrician (supply run extra), plus VAT (£395–£1,345 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £815 plus VAT, using our Wales guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
What IP rating do outdoor bollard lights need?
Usually at least IP65 for rain and splashing, and higher where water may collect or fittings are hosed down. Ask for the rating of the complete fitting, not just the LED module.
Do lighting bollards need an electrician to install?
Yes, mains lighting bollards must be connected by a qualified electrician, who tests and certifies the circuit. We arrange that as part of the job. Solar bollards avoid mains work but provide less light.
