What we check first in Llanelli
In Llanelli the highway authority for local roads is Carmarthenshire County Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
If your site in Llanelli is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Carmarthenshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size. Where bollards protect a shopfront, the building's own foundations and any canopy columns may sit close to the line, which limits how deep and wide each base can go.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
From survey to handover
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Agree a plan for live trading
Work is phased so entrances and walkways stay open, with each section fenced while it is dug and set. Busy sites often prefer early starts or quieter weekdays.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
What affects the quote
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Llanelli firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
After installation
Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement. Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike.
For damaged or loose posts in Llanelli, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Not usually. They deal with low-speed driver errors, so firmly founded steel posts often suffice. Where an owner, insurer or designer wants proven performance, PAS 170-1 tested products are the usual choice.
Should bollards be added at a drive-thru order point?
Often, yes, where people queue or sit beside the lane. Posts should follow the curve of the lane and be closest together at corners, where drivers tend to misjudge the turn. The positions are agreed on site with the operator.
