Rules for telescopic 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. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
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.
Form the drainage
A gravel soakaway is placed beneath the cassette, or a pipe is laid to a surface water drain or new soakaway.
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.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Flintshire?
For local roads, Flintshire County Council; the Welsh Government covers trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the authority's written agreement.
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.
Can a telescopic bollard be fitted into a resin or imprinted drive?
Yes, though the cut has to be made cleanly and the surface patched around the lid. Resin and imprinted finishes are hard to match exactly, so we plan positions to keep visible patching small.
