Before we dig in Caerleon
In Caerleon the highway authority for local roads is Newport City 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 Caerleon is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Newport City 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. 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.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| 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
Two Caerleon jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
After installation
Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right. A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Caerleon.

Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Caerleon?

Will bollards block trolleys?
They should not if gaps are planned for trolleys and wheelchairs. Main routes to trolley bays need wider openings. We set gaps to suit the way the site works.
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.
