Rules for removable bollards in Wales
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Agree who will lift the post
At the free site survey we talk through who will remove the post, how often and where it will be stored. That decides material, diameter and lock, and goes into a fixed written quote.
Cut and excavate
A small square of surface is cut out and excavated to socket depth, with a bed of free-draining stone at the bottom so water can leave the socket.
Set the socket flush
The socket is set in concrete with its rim exactly at finished surface level and to the fall of the ground, so the lid sits flat and nothing catches on it.
Fit posts and hand over keys
Posts are fitted and locked, and the lift-out and refit routine is checked on site. Keys and any storage brackets are handed over.
Removable bollards in Conwy: FAQs

How much do removable bollards cost in Conwy?
In Conwy, typically £235–£815 per bollard with ground socket, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£275–£975 including VAT for homeowners), 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.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Conwy?
For local roads, Conwy County Borough Council; the Welsh Government covers trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the authority's written agreement.
Can removable bollards be installed on block paving?
Yes. The socket is set in concrete beneath the blocks and the blocks are cut tight around the collar. It finishes neatly if the socket is set to the exact paving level.
How heavy is a removable bollard to lift?
It depends on material and size; a slim aluminium post is easy to lift, while a large concrete-filled steel post is not designed for daily handling. If the post will come out every day, say so at the survey and we will suggest something lighter with a handle.
