Rules for steel security 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 set out
A free site survey confirms positions, surfaces, buried services and whether root-fixing or base plates suit the ground. You receive a fixed written quote listing post size, finish and fixing.
Set the posts
Posts are set plumb and to a consistent height along the line, and concreted in. Base-plated posts are drilled, anchored with resin and torqued once cured.
Fill and cap
Where specified, posts are filled with concrete and capped so water cannot collect inside the tube.
Reinstate and finish
The surface around each post is made good to match, and reflective bands are fitted. Damaged galvanising from handling is touched up.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Caerphilly?
For local roads, Caerphilly County Borough Council; the Welsh Government covers trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the authority's written agreement.
Can new posts match our existing ones?
Usually, if we can measure the existing diameter, height, cap and colour. Galvanised steel in standard sizes is easy to match; older or unusual sections may need a close equivalent.
What diameter of steel bollard do I need?
Match it to the job. Around 114 mm suits car park walkways and verges; 168 or 219 mm with a heavier wall suits service yards and corners that lorries pass. The survey looks at what is likely to hit the posts.
