Consents, ground and services in Colwyn Bay
Before digging near the kerb in Colwyn Bay 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 Colwyn Bay 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.
Domestic drives hide more than people expect. Block paving reinstates well because the original blocks can go back; tarmac, resin-bound and imprinted concrete show patching, so we keep cuts tight and positions sensible.
- In conservation areas or at listed buildings, check with the local planning authority before fitting visible posts.
- 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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Telescopic posts | Retract into a cassette with a flush lid when lowered. Tidy and secure, but need depth and drainage under the drive. |
| Finishes | Black, grey, yellow or stainless finishes, with reflective bands so visitors see the post at night. |
| Fold-down posts | Hinged posts bolted down with resin anchors. Quick to fit and no digging, but need a solid base to fix into. |

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.
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.
