Before we dig in Llandudno
Before digging near the kerb in Llandudno 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 Llandudno 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.
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. 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.
- Make sure the post is on your own land; a post on the pavement or the dropped kerb needs the highway authority's agreement.
Installation, step by step
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.
Fit the post
Telescopic cassettes and removable sockets are set flush in concrete with drainage beneath. Fold-down posts are anchored to concrete or a small new pad.
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 |
|---|---|
| Fold-down posts | Hinged posts bolted down with resin anchors. Quick to fit and no digging, but need a solid base to fix into. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Two Llandudno jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Depth available and services under the drive
- Type of post: telescopic, fold-down, removable or semi-automatic
- Finish and keyed-alike locks
Keeping them working
Keep a spare key somewhere safe away from the car keys. If the post becomes stiff, deal with it early, because a post that is awkward to use is a post that stops being locked.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Llandudno.

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.
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.
