Consents, ground and services in Droitwich
The highway authority for local roads in Droitwich is Worcestershire 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.
Many private-land installations in Droitwich need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Wychavon before posts go in.
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.
- Connect any cassette drainage to surface water or a soakaway, not to the foul drain.
- 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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Keyed-alike locks | Two posts or more can be supplied so one key opens both, which helps households with several cars. |
| Finishes | Black, grey, yellow or stainless finishes, with reflective bands so visitors see the post at night. |
| Telescopic posts | Retract into a cassette with a flush lid when lowered. Tidy and secure, but need depth and drainage under the drive. |
Pricing driveway security posts in Droitwich
Two Droitwich 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
- Finish and keyed-alike locks
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. Fold-down posts need the hinge oiled and anchors checked.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Droitwich.

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.
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.
