Permissions and groundwork in Flint
Before digging near the kerb in Flint we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Flintshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Flint is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Flintshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Car park edges and walkways tend to be built quickly over shallow hardcore, and their kerb lines often carry lighting cables, drainage channels and ducts for EV chargers or signs.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
What happens on site
Watch how the site works
The free site survey looks at where cars park, where people walk and queue, and where incidents or near misses have happened. You receive a fixed written quote with positions marked.
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
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.
Finishes and options
| 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. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
What affects the quote
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Flint firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
Looking after them
Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right. Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement.
If posts in Flint are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Questions about pedestrian protection bollards in Flint
Do you install pedestrian protection bollards in Flint?
We cover all of Flint (CH6 and CH8) and the rest of Flintshire. We also work in Deeside, Mold and Prestatyn.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Flint?
Local roads and pavements in Flint are the responsibility of Flintshire 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.
What's a typical price for pedestrian protection bollards in Flint?
In Flint, 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.
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.
Do pedestrian protection bollards need to be crash-rated?
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.
