Telescopic bollard installation in Swansea
Drop-down post that sits flush in a sub-surface housing. Good where access patterns change daily and you don't want a bollard lying on the floor.
Bollard Installation Specialists, Swansea
Looking for bollard installers in Swansea? We cover everything from one replacement post on a damaged shopfront through to multi-bollard schemes around schools, hospitals and government sites. The same team handles the survey, the install and the aftercare.
What we install in Swansea
Whether the job is on the Quadrant centre, Wind Street and the Swansea Enterprise Park, we install across Swansea and the rest of the SA postcodes, with the same survey, quote and install crew on every job.
Insurance-driven installs in Swansea usually need a written spec the insurer will accept. We give you a quote that lines up with what the underwriter wants to see, not just what looks fine on the day.
Where the threat is hostile vehicle attack — public realm, government sites, event spaces in Swansea — we install crash-rated PAS 68 / IWA 14 bollards to the foundation depths the test certificate requires. Anything less and the rating doesn't apply.
For high-street retail in Swansea, planning consent and shopfront aesthetics matter. We install stainless steel, painted steel and bell bollards; we can also wrap or sleeve existing posts to match a brand colour.
We'll tell you when bollards aren't the answer. Sometimes a kerb, a planter or a height restrictor does the job for less. We'd rather say so up front than sell you posts you don't need.

Swansea install detail — depths, finishes, spacing
On tarmac in Swansea we cut a clean square around the core, install, then patch with hot or cold-lay depending on the area and the temperature on the day.
Stainless posts on shopfronts in Swansea get a brushed or mirror finish and are installed with concealed fixings — no visible flange plate at the base.
Our Swansea install process
- 1. You send the site postcode and a short brief through the quote form.
- 2. We confirm whether a site visit is needed; for most Swansea jobs it is.
- 3. You receive a written quote with the bollard spec, fixings, foundations and reinstatement listed.
- 4. Once you sign it off, we book a date and turn up with the materials.
- 5. On site: set out, core, fix, set, reinstate, photograph, leave clean.
Frequently asked questions about bollards in Swansea
Do you guarantee the install?
The bollards carry the manufacturer warranty; the installation itself carries our workmanship guarantee. Both are written into the quote so it's clear before you sign.
Do you supply the bollards as well as install?
Usually yes. We can also install bollards you've already bought if they're a sensible spec for the site — we'll flag it before quoting if they aren't.
What spacing do you use between bollards?
For pedestrian-permeable lines we typically space at 1.2m centre-to-centre. Where the brief is to stop a vehicle squeezing through, spacing comes in tighter and the post diameter goes up.
Can you replace damaged bollards in Swansea like-for-like?
Yes — we'll match the original post type and finish where we can, repair the foundation if it's failed, and reinstate the surface so the repair doesn't stand out.
What's included in the price?
Bollard, fixings, coring, structural set, surface reinstatement, traffic management if needed, and removal of waste. Quotes are itemised so it's clear what's covered.
Do you maintain automatic bollards too?
Yes. Hydraulic and electromechanical bollards need annual servicing to stay reliable. We service systems we install and systems put in by other contractors.
