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.
The difference is in handling. For solid stainless posts the foundation work is the same as for steel: dig to depth, check for services, set in concrete and reinstate.
- Check with the local planning authority before installing in conservation areas or beside listed buildings, where stainless may not be considered appropriate.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm on pedestrian routes, in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance.
What happens on site
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.
Fit covers
Sleeves are slid over the cores, packed so they cannot rattle, and fixed with concealed fixings. A gap or drainage detail at the base stops water being trapped inside.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heads and details | Domed, flat, angled or ball tops, grooved bands, engraved logos and inset reflective strips. |
| Solid stainless posts | Root-fixed, base-plated or removable posts, often concrete-filled or with a steel insert for strength. |
| Contrasting bands | Dark or reflective bands so posts stand out against pale paving, which bare stainless often does not. |
What affects the quote
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Mold firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Diameter and height, and any custom heads or engraving
- Condition of existing cores and any re-bedding needed
- Solid posts or covers over existing cores
After installation
Check covers for loose fixings and rattles, and look at the base for trapped water or rust from an old core underneath. Stainless steel is low maintenance, not no maintenance.
For damaged or loose posts in Mold, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
How should stainless bollards be cleaned?
With water and mild detergent, then rinsed and dried, more often in coastal or salty conditions. Use stainless cleaners and non-scratch pads for marks. Never use wire wool or steel brushes.
