Permissions and groundwork in Mold
Local roads and pavements in Mold 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.
If your site in Mold 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.
Shop forecourts may be thin concrete over old fill, and filling station forecourts carry fuel lines, tank vents and interceptors that must be located precisely before anything is dug. Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls.
- Leave clear gaps for wheelchairs and buggies, typically at least 1,000 mm, and keep the footway width usable, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- If an insurer has asked for protection, confirm what standard or product they expect before ordering.
What happens on site
Agree the post type and positions
We agree unrated or tested posts with you, your landlord and any insurer or security adviser involved. A fixed written quote sets out the positions, foundations and reinstatement.
Arrange consents
If the posts will stand on public highway, the highway authority's agreement is needed before work starts. Landlord consent is usually needed for leased units.
Reinstate the pavement
Paving, tarmac or forecourt concrete is made good flush with the base of each post, leaving no trip edges.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
| Stainless or decorative covers | Covers over steel cores for shopping streets and branded frontages where plain steel would look out of place. |
What moves the price in Mold
Two Mold jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Reinstatement of forecourt or natural stone surfaces
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
Keeping them working
Check them after any knock, because a post that has been hit may have cracked its foundation even if it still looks straight. Ram-raid bollards are robust but not maintenance-free.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Mold.

Do I need consent for ram-raid bollards on a public footway in Mold?

How much do ram-raid bollards cost in Mold?
In Mold, typically £385–£1,445 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £915 plus VAT, using our Wales guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Will bollards spoil the look of the shop?
They change the frontage, but stainless or powder-coated finishes in shopfront colours can make them look deliberate rather than defensive. Many shopping streets already have similar posts, so new ones can be matched to what is there.
Can we still take deliveries through the front?
Yes, if one or more positions are removable. Staff unlock and lift out the post for deliveries, then refit it. The socket is designed to sit flush when the post is out.
