Consents, ground and services in Enfield
The highway authority for local roads in Enfield is Enfield Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. Driveway security posts on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Enfield is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Enfield 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. We scan and hand-dig before cutting deep for a telescopic cassette.
- 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.
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Keyed-alike locks | Two posts or more can be supplied so one key opens both, which helps households with several cars. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
When we price driveway security posts in Enfield, these make the biggest difference:
- Drainage for telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes
- Depth available and services under the drive
- Drive surface and how visible a repair will be
After installation
Fold-down posts need the hinge oiled and anchors checked. With telescopic and semi-automatic posts, lift the lid every few months and check the cassette is not holding water or silt.
For damaged or loose posts in Enfield, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
