What we check first in Bloxwich
The highway authority for local roads in Bloxwich is Walsall 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 Bloxwich is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Walsall Council) 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. Domestic drives hide more than people expect.
- Make sure the post is on your own land; a post on the pavement or the dropped kerb needs the highway authority's agreement.
- Connect any cassette drainage to surface water or a soakaway, not to the foul drain.
Installation, step by step
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Removable posts | Lift out of a shallow socket and lock in place. Simple and low cost to fit, but must be stored when out. |
| Semi-automatic posts | Rise on their own when unlocked and push down to lower. Easier for daily use than lifting a post. |
| Keyed-alike locks | Two posts or more can be supplied so one key opens both, which helps households with several cars. |

After installation
With telescopic and semi-automatic posts, lift the lid every few months and check the cassette is not holding water or silt. Keep a spare key somewhere safe away from the car keys.

Where should a driveway security post go?
Close enough in front of the car, or between it and the road, that the car cannot be driven round it. We mark the position with your car in place during the survey. Sloping drives and wide frontages may change the obvious spot.
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.
