Rules for stainless steel 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.

How installation works
Survey and match
A free site survey records existing cores, diameters, heights and the setting, including any salt or coastal exposure that points to 316. You receive a fixed written quote covering grade, finish and fixing.
Prepare the cores
For covers, existing posts are checked for straightness, loose foundations and corrosion. Cores that lean or move are re-bedded first, because a cover will not hide a failing post for long.
Install new posts
New solid stainless posts are set in concrete, bolted down or fitted into sockets, with care taken not to scratch the finish or contaminate it with carbon steel tools.
Clean and protect
Fingerprints, grinding dust and adhesive residue are cleaned off with suitable stainless cleaners, and the protective film is removed only when surrounding work is finished.

For local roads, Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council; the Welsh Government covers trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the authority's written agreement.
Do stainless covers affect a crash rating?
They can if they are not part of the tested product. Use covers supplied or approved by the bollard manufacturer. We fit approved covers and leave the core and foundation exactly as installed.
Can stainless covers go over our existing steel bollards?
Yes, if the existing posts are straight, firmly fixed and a size the covers can be made to fit. Leaning or loose posts are re-bedded first. It is often a quicker way to refresh a frontage than replacing every post.
