- Homes worried about keyless or relay car theft

Consents, ground and services in Wolverhampton
In Wolverhampton, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from City of Wolverhampton Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Wolverhampton is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (City of Wolverhampton Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Clay soils hold water, so a telescopic or semi-automatic cassette there needs a proper soakaway or a connection to a surface water drain, never the foul drain. We scan and hand-dig before cutting deep for a telescopic cassette.
- If the drive is shared or has a right of way over it, agree positions with the neighbour first.
- In conservation areas or at listed buildings, check with the local planning authority before fitting visible posts.
How the job runs
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 |
|---|---|
| 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 affects the quote
Two Wolverhampton jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Drive surface and how visible a repair will be
- Number of posts for the cars on the drive
- Depth available and services under the drive
Looking after them
With telescopic and semi-automatic posts, lift the lid every few months and check the cassette is not holding water or silt. Fold-down posts need the hinge oiled and anchors checked.
If posts in Wolverhampton are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
