Bollards fitted in front of shopfronts, ATMs, jewellers and convenience stores to stop vehicles being used to break in. In Coedpoeth, that tends to mean sites such as small industrial units, filling-station forecourts and town-centre squares.
We work across LL14 — Coedpoeth itself and places including Rhosllannerchrugog, Pen-y-cae, Rhostyllen and Cefn-bychan. Nearby, we also work in Wrexham (3 miles), Mold (8.5 miles), Deeside (10.2 miles) and Flint (13.5 miles), measured as the crow flies.

Consents, ground and services in Coedpoeth
In Coedpoeth the highway authority for local roads is Wrexham County Borough Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because ram-raid bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Wrexham County Borough Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls. Shopfronts often sit over cellars, coal holes, vaults and service entries, so what lies under the pavement can be more complicated than it looks.
- In conservation areas or on listed buildings, ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed.
- If an insurer has asked for protection, confirm what standard or product they expect before ordering.
Installation, step by step
Look at how a vehicle would approach
At the free site survey we look at where a vehicle could reverse from, the kerb line, the forecourt and the frontage construction. Ownership of the pavement in front of the shop is checked at the same time.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts and suited to ram-raid risks where a tested product is requested. |
| 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 Coedpoeth
Two Coedpoeth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Removable positions and their locks
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
After installation
Ram-raid bollards are robust but not maintenance-free. Keep visibility bands clean, repaint chips before rust sets in on steel, and keep locks on removable posts lubricated so staff can actually use them.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Coedpoeth.
Common questions
Can you install ram-raid bollards anywhere in Coedpoeth?
We cover all of Coedpoeth (LL14) and the rest of Wrexham. We also work in Wrexham, Mold and Deeside.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Coedpoeth?
Before digging near the kerb in Coedpoeth we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Wrexham County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
How much do ram-raid bollards cost in Coedpoeth?
In Coedpoeth, 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.
What is PAS 170-1 and do I need it?
PAS 170-1 is a standard for testing vehicle security barriers against low-speed impacts. It suits ram-raid risks where someone has asked for tested performance, such as an insurer or security adviser. If nobody has asked for a tested product, a well-founded unrated post is often adequate.
Can bollards go on the pavement outside my shop?
Only if you own the ground or have the highway authority's agreement. Many shop frontages include a strip of private forecourt, which is simpler. We check ownership as part of the survey.
