Rules for driveway security posts in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
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.
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.

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.
Do I need two posts for two cars?
Not always. On a narrow drive where one car parks behind the other, one post at the front may be enough. On a wide drive with cars side by side, two posts are usually needed to block both.
