What we check first in Llantrisant
Local roads and pavements in Llantrisant are the responsibility of Rhondda Cynon Taf 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.
If your site in Llantrisant is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- 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.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Llantrisant
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Llantrisant firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
After installation
Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement. Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right.
For damaged or loose posts in Llantrisant, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Common questions
Which parts of Llantrisant do you cover for pedestrian protection bollards?
We cover all of Llantrisant (CF72 and CF38) and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taf. We also work in Pontypridd, Caerphilly and Thornhill.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Llantrisant?
Before digging near the kerb in Llantrisant we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
What's a typical price for pedestrian protection bollards in Llantrisant?
In Llantrisant, 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.
Are wheel stops enough on their own?
Wheel stops help drivers judge where to stop but a car can mount them with a firm press on the accelerator. Used with bollards, they reduce daily knocks on the posts. On their own they are not a barrier.
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.
