Before we dig in Prestatyn
In Prestatyn the highway authority for local roads is Denbighshire County Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because driveway security posts on a public footway need its agreement first.
If your site in Prestatyn is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Denbighshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- Connect any cassette drainage to surface water or a soakaway, not to the foul drain.
- If the drive is shared or has a right of way over it, agree positions with the neighbour first.
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.
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Removable posts | Lift out of a shallow socket and lock in place. Simple and low cost to fit, but must be stored when out. |
| Telescopic posts | Retract into a cassette with a flush lid when lowered. Tidy and secure, but need depth and drainage under the drive. |
| Fold-down posts | Hinged posts bolted down with resin anchors. Quick to fit and no digging, but need a solid base to fix into. |
Pricing driveway security posts in Prestatyn
When we price driveway security posts in Prestatyn, these make the biggest difference:
- Drainage for telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes
- Finish and keyed-alike locks
- Number of posts for the cars on the drive
After installation
Fold-down posts need the hinge oiled and anchors checked. 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 Prestatyn.

Which type of post is right for my driveway?
Telescopic if you want a flush, tidy finish and will use it daily, provided the ground can be dug and drained. Fold-down if digging is not possible or the drive is concrete. Removable if the post will only be used occasionally and you have somewhere to store it.
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.
