Before we dig in Aylesbury
Buckinghamshire Council is the highway authority covering Aylesbury's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Buckinghamshire Council) first — we flag this at survey.
We scan and hand-dig before cutting deep for a telescopic cassette. The water supply pipe, gas service and electric cable all cross the front garden, often at shallow depth and rarely where you would guess, and older drives may cover inspection chambers or soakaways.
- Connect any cassette drainage to surface water or a soakaway, not to the foul drain.
- Make sure the post is on your own land; a post on the pavement or the dropped kerb needs the highway authority's agreement.
What happens on site
Free home survey
We look at your drive, how and where you park, the surface and what might be under it, such as the water pipe or a gas service. You receive a fixed written quote with the post type and position marked.
Cut the surface
Block paving is lifted carefully for reuse; tarmac, concrete or resin is cut neatly to keep the patch as small as possible.
Make good and show you
The surface is reinstated and cleaned. We show you how to lock, lower and raise the post and hand over the keys.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Semi-automatic posts | Rise on their own when unlocked and push down to lower. Easier for daily use than lifting a post. |
| Keyed-alike locks | Two posts or more can be supplied so one key opens both, which helps households with several cars. |
| Telescopic posts | Retract into a cassette with a flush lid when lowered. Tidy and secure, but need depth and drainage under the drive. |
Pricing driveway security posts in Aylesbury
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Aylesbury firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of posts for the cars on the drive
- Type of post: telescopic, fold-down, removable or semi-automatic
- Drive surface and how visible a repair will be
After installation
If the post becomes stiff, deal with it early, because a post that is awkward to use is a post that stops being locked. Keep a spare key somewhere safe away from the car keys.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Aylesbury.
Driveway security posts in Aylesbury: FAQs

Do I need consent for driveway security posts on a public footway in Aylesbury?
In Aylesbury, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Buckinghamshire Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do driveway security posts cost in Aylesbury?
In Aylesbury, typically £405–£895 per post, supplied and installed, including VAT, with a minimum job of £415 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
What if I lose the key to my driveway post?
Keep the spare somewhere safe. If both are lost, many lock cylinders can be replaced, but sometimes the lock has to be drilled. That is a paid repair visit, so a spare key is worth having.
Do I need two posts for two cars?
Not always. On a narrow drive where one car parks behind the other, one post at the front may be enough. On a wide drive with cars side by side, two posts are usually needed to block both.
