Consents, ground and services in Holyhead
Local roads and pavements in Holyhead are the responsibility of Isle of Anglesey 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 Holyhead is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Isle of Anglesey County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Paving around new posts is cut before the posts arrive, or the posts are protected while it happens. The difference is in handling.
- On crash-rated bollards, confirm with the manufacturer that the cover is approved for the tested product.
- Check with the local planning authority before installing in conservation areas or beside listed buildings, where stainless may not be considered appropriate.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Contrasting bands | Dark or reflective bands so posts stand out against pale paving, which bare stainless often does not. |
| Heads and details | Domed, flat, angled or ball tops, grooved bands, engraved logos and inset reflective strips. |
| Covers for rated bollards | Manufacturer-supplied or approved covers for crash-tested cores so the security rating is not compromised. |

Looking after them
Avoid wire wool and steel brushes, which leave particles that rust. Light tea staining can be removed with a stainless cleaner and a non-scratch pad, working with the grain of a brushed finish.
