Consents, ground and services in Egham
The highway authority for local roads in Egham is Surrey County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. 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 Egham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Runnymede) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
We scan and hand-dig before cutting deep for a telescopic cassette. The water supply pipe, gas service and electric cable all cross the front garden, often at shallow depth and rarely where you would guess, and older drives may cover inspection chambers or soakaways.
- Make sure the post is on your own land; a post on the pavement or the dropped kerb needs the highway authority's agreement.
- If the drive is shared or has a right of way over it, agree positions with the neighbour first.
What happens on site
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.
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. |
| Fold-down posts | Hinged posts bolted down with resin anchors. Quick to fit and no digging, but need a solid base to fix into. |
| Removable posts | Lift out of a shallow socket and lock in place. Simple and low cost to fit, but must be stored when out. |
What moves the price in Egham
When we price driveway security posts in Egham, 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
Looking after them
Fold-down posts need the hinge oiled and anchors checked. 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 Egham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
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.
