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.
Break out and excavate
For root-fixed posts, the surface is cut neatly and each hole is dug to depth, by hand near known services. For base plates, the slab is checked for thickness and soundness.
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 Carmarthenshire?
For local roads, Carmarthenshire County 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.
Are unrated steel bollards anti-ram?
No. They have not been crash-tested, so their performance against a deliberate vehicle attack is unknown. They are suited to nuisance parking and low-speed knocks; tested products are needed where an attack is the concern.
