What we check first in Hammersmith and Fulham
Hammersmith and Fulham Council is the highway authority covering Hammersmith and Fulham's local roads. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Hammersmith and Fulham need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Hammersmith and Fulham Council before posts go in.
Domestic drives hide more than people expect. 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.
- If the drive is shared or has a right of way over it, agree positions with the neighbour first.
How the job runs
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Telescopic posts | Retract into a cassette with a flush lid when lowered. Tidy and secure, but need depth and drainage under the drive. |
| Removable posts | Lift out of a shallow socket and lock in place. Simple and low cost to fit, but must be stored when out. |
| Keyed-alike locks | Two posts or more can be supplied so one key opens both, which helps households with several cars. |

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.
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.
