Consents, ground and services in Willenhall
The highway authority for local roads in Willenhall 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 Willenhall 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.
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. 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.
- If the drive is shared or has a right of way over it, agree positions with the neighbour first.
- Connect any cassette drainage to surface water or a soakaway, not to the foul drain.
What happens on site
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |

Keeping them working
If the post becomes stiff, deal with it early, because a post that is awkward to use is a post that stops being locked. Use the post regularly and keep the lock lubricated, especially before winter.
