Before we dig in Yateley
In Yateley, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hampshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Yateley is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Hart) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. We scan and hand-dig before cutting deep for a telescopic cassette.
- If the drive is shared or has a right of way over it, agree positions with the neighbour first.
- 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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Semi-automatic posts | Rise on their own when unlocked and push down to lower. Easier for daily use than lifting a post. |
| Keyed-alike locks | Two posts or more can be supplied so one key opens both, which helps households with several cars. |
| Fold-down posts | Hinged posts bolted down with resin anchors. Quick to fit and no digging, but need a solid base to fix into. |
What moves the price in Yateley
When we price driveway security posts in Yateley, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of posts for the cars on the drive
- Drive surface and how visible a repair will be
- Finish and keyed-alike locks
Keeping them working
Use the post regularly and keep the lock lubricated, especially before winter. If the post becomes stiff, deal with it early, because a post that is awkward to use is a post that stops being locked.
For damaged or loose posts in Yateley, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Driveway security posts in Yateley: FAQs
Can you install driveway security posts anywhere in Yateley?
We cover all of Yateley (GU46 and GU17) and the rest of Hampshire. We also work in Sandhurst, Crowthorne and Camberley.
Do I need consent for driveway security posts on a public footway in Yateley?
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Yateley's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
What's a typical price for driveway security posts in Yateley?
In Yateley, typically £405–£895 per post, supplied and installed, including VAT, with a minimum job of £415 plus VAT, using our South East 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.
Does a driveway post stop keyless car theft?
It cannot stop a thief opening or starting the car electronically, but it stops the car being driven off the drive until the post is unlocked. That makes your car a slower, riskier target. Use it alongside a signal-blocking pouch and the car's own security.
