Before we dig in Llandudno
Before digging near the kerb in Llandudno we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Conwy County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Llandudno is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Conwy County Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Telescopic bollards need a deeper excavation than other manual bollards, so ground and services decide where they can go. Drives commonly hide the water supply pipe, gas service, electric cable and drainage runs, often at shallow depth, and they cluster near the property boundary where posts are usually wanted.
- Leave access for emergency services on commercial and multi-occupancy sites, and record who holds keys.
- If the drive is shared, agree positions and keys with the other users first.
How the job runs
Check depth and drainage
The free site survey checks how far down we can dig, where services run under the drive and how the ground drains. If water will stand, a drain connection is priced into the fixed written quote.
Cut and excavate
The surface is cut neatly and the hole dug to the cassette's full depth plus a drainage layer, with care near any service that crosses the drive.
Set the cassette
The cassette is set vertical and its top exactly at finished surface level and fall, then concreted in. A cassette set high or low is a common cause of tyre damage and trip edges.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reflective bands | Bands near the top help drivers see a raised post at night, particularly on drives shared with visitors. |
| Diameter and height | Commonly around 90–140 mm diameter and 600–900 mm raised height, with larger posts for commercial use. |
| Finishes | Galvanised, powder-coated in common colours, or stainless steel to suit the frontage. |
What moves the price in Llandudno
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Llandudno firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Surface type and quality of reinstatement
- Post size and whether lift assistance is wanted
- Number of posts and keyed-alike locks
Keeping them working
If the post becomes stiff or will not lower fully, the usual causes are debris in the cassette or a blocked drain, both of which are easier to fix early than after the post has seized. Lower and raise the bollard regularly, even if you rarely need to, so the mechanism stays free.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Llandudno.

Do you install telescopic bollards in Llandudno?
We cover all of Llandudno (LL30, LL31, LL32 and LL34) and the rest of Conwy. We also work in Colwyn Bay, Abergele and Bangor, Gwynedd.
Do I need consent for telescopic bollards on a public footway in Llandudno?
In Llandudno the highway authority for local roads is Conwy County Borough Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because telescopic bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
How much do telescopic bollards cost in Llandudno?
In Llandudno, typically £335–£1,145 per bollard with cassette, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£395–£1,345 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £625 plus VAT, using our Wales guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Is a telescopic bollard harder to lift than a removable one?
Usually easier, because you only lift it up a short distance within its cassette and many models have lift assistance. You also never carry it or store it anywhere.
Will a telescopic bollard stop my car being stolen?
It adds a physical barrier that a thief has to defeat before driving away, which slows them down and makes the car a less attractive target. It is one layer of protection, not a complete answer to keyless car theft.
