Consents, ground and services in Tullibody
Tullibody falls under Clackmannanshire Council as roads authority. If the line of posts crosses onto adopted road or pavement, permission comes before excavation; on private land it does not.
If your site in Tullibody is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Clackmannanshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Clay soils hold water, so a telescopic or semi-automatic cassette there needs a proper soakaway or a connection to a surface water drain, never the foul drain. We scan and hand-dig before cutting deep for a telescopic cassette.
- Make sure the post is on your own land; a post on the pavement or the dropped kerb needs the roads authority's agreement.
- Connect any cassette drainage to surface water or a soakaway, not to the foul drain.
From survey to handover
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.
Mark the position
The position is marked with the car in place, so we can check it blocks the car and that you can still open doors and walk past.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Semi-automatic posts | Rise on their own when unlocked and push down to lower. Easier for daily use than lifting a post. |
| Telescopic posts | Retract into a cassette with a flush lid when lowered. Tidy and secure, but need depth and drainage under the drive. |
| Keyed-alike locks | Two posts or more can be supplied so one key opens both, which helps households with several cars. |
What moves the price in Tullibody
Two Tullibody jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Drive surface and how visible a repair will be
- Depth available and services under the drive
- Drainage for telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes
Keeping them working
If the post becomes stiff, deal with it early, because a post that is awkward to use is a post that stops being locked. Fold-down posts need the hinge oiled and anchors checked.
If posts in Tullibody are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Which parts of Tullibody do you cover for driveway security posts?
We cover all of Tullibody (FK11 and FK12) and the rest of Clackmannanshire. We also work in Alloa, Stirling and Dunblane.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Tullibody?
Tullibody falls under Clackmannanshire Council as roads authority. If the line of posts crosses onto adopted road or pavement, permission comes before excavation; on private land it does not.
What's a typical price for driveway security posts in Tullibody?
In Tullibody, typically £385–£845 per post, supplied and installed, including VAT, with a minimum job of £395 plus VAT, using our Scotland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Will fitting a post damage my block paving?
Only a small area is lifted and the original blocks are relaid around the post. Done carefully, the repair is hard to spot. Resin and imprinted drives show patching more.
Where should a driveway security post go?
Close enough in front of the car, or between it and the road, that the car cannot be driven round it. We mark the position with your car in place during the survey. Sloping drives and wide frontages may change the obvious spot.
