Consents, ground and services in Guiseley
Leeds City Council is the highway authority covering Guiseley's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Leeds City Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Domestic drives hide more than people expect. 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.
- Connect any cassette drainage to surface water or a soakaway, not to the foul drain.
- Make sure the post is on your own land; a post on the pavement or the dropped kerb needs the highway authority's agreement.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
Make good and show you
The surface is reinstated and cleaned. We show you how to lock, lower and raise the post and hand over the keys.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Finishes | Black, grey, yellow or stainless finishes, with reflective bands so visitors see the post at night. |
| 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. |
Pricing driveway security posts in Guiseley
Our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Guiseley firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Depth available and services under the drive
- Drainage for telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes
- Number of posts for the cars on the drive
After installation
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Guiseley.
Common questions
Do you install driveway security posts in Guiseley?
We cover all of Guiseley (LS20) and the rest of West Yorkshire. We also work in Yeadon, Shipley and Bradford.
Do I need consent for driveway security posts on a public footway in Guiseley?
In Guiseley, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Leeds City Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
How much do driveway security posts cost in Guiseley?
In Guiseley, typically £375–£815 per post, supplied and installed, including VAT, with a minimum job of £375 plus VAT, using our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
What if I lose the key to my driveway post?
Keep the spare somewhere safe. If both are lost, many lock cylinders can be replaced, but sometimes the lock has to be drilled. That is a paid repair visit, so a spare key is worth having.
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.
