Before we dig in Great Yarmouth
Norfolk County Council is the highway authority covering Great Yarmouth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Great Yarmouth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Great Yarmouth) 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.
- Make sure the post is on your own land; a post on the pavement or the dropped kerb needs the highway authority's agreement.
- In conservation areas or at listed buildings, check with the local planning authority before fitting visible posts.
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.
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| 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. |
| Keyed-alike locks | Two posts or more can be supplied so one key opens both, which helps households with several cars. |
| Finishes | Black, grey, yellow or stainless finishes, with reflective bands so visitors see the post at night. |
What affects the quote
Two Great Yarmouth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts for the cars on the drive
- Finish and keyed-alike locks
- Drive surface and how visible a repair will be
Looking after them
Keep a spare key somewhere safe away from the car keys. Fold-down posts need the hinge oiled and anchors checked.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Great Yarmouth.

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.
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.
