Before we dig in Evesham
The highway authority for local roads in Evesham 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.
If your site in Evesham is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Wychavon) 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. 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.
- In conservation areas or at listed buildings, check with the local planning authority before fitting visible posts.
- Make sure the post is on your own land; a post on the pavement or the dropped kerb needs the highway authority's agreement.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Keyed-alike locks | Two posts or more can be supplied so one key opens both, which helps households with several cars. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Two Evesham jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Type of post: telescopic, fold-down, removable or semi-automatic
- Depth available and services under the drive
- Drainage for telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes
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.
If posts in Evesham are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
Do I need two posts for two cars?
Not always. On a narrow drive where one car parks behind the other, one post at the front may be enough. On a wide drive with cars side by side, two posts are usually needed to block both.
