Typical driveway security posts jobs in Mold
Typical reasons Mold sites choose driveway security posts:
- Homes with a high-value car or van parked outside
- Drives where neighbours or visitors keep parking
- Drives where a gate would not fit or is not allowed
Before we dig in Mold
In Mold the highway authority for local roads is Flintshire 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 Mold is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Flintshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Domestic drives hide more than people expect. 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.
- Make sure the post is on your own land; a post on the pavement or the dropped kerb needs the highway authority's agreement.
- If the drive is shared or has a right of way over it, agree positions with the neighbour first.
Installation, step by step
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.
Finishes and options
| 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. |
| 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 Mold
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Mold firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Finish and keyed-alike locks
- Type of post: telescopic, fold-down, removable or semi-automatic
- Drive surface and how visible a repair will be
Keeping them working
With telescopic and semi-automatic posts, lift the lid every few months and check the cassette is not holding water or silt. Fold-down posts need the hinge oiled and anchors checked.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Mold.

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.
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.
