Before we dig in Llandudno
Before digging near the kerb in Llandudno we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Conwy County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Llandudno is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Conwy County Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement keeps walkways level and flush, because a trip edge around a new post in a busy car park creates the very hazard the posts are meant to reduce. Raised kerbs also change the picture: a high kerb slows a wheel but does not stop a bumper, so the post still needs to sit within reach of the overhang rather than behind it.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
Installation, step by step
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
What affects the quote
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Llandudno firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
Looking after them
Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike. If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Llandudno.
Pedestrian protection in Llandudno: FAQs
Which parts of Llandudno do you cover for pedestrian protection bollards?

Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Llandudno?
Local roads and pavements in Llandudno are the responsibility of Conwy County Borough 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 pedestrian protection bollards cost in Llandudno?
In Llandudno, typically £235–£1,145 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our Wales guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
How far from the kerb should car park bollards go?
Far enough back that parked bumpers do not hit them, but not so far that they narrow the walkway. That distance depends on the bay length and kerb height. We set it on site with the layout in front of us.
