What we check first in Stourport-on-Severn
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Stourport-on-Severn's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Stourport-on-Severn is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Wyre Forest) 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. 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.
- 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
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Fold-down posts | Hinged posts bolted down with resin anchors. Quick to fit and no digging, but need a solid base to fix into. |
| Keyed-alike locks | Two posts or more can be supplied so one key opens both, which helps households with several cars. |
| Telescopic posts | Retract into a cassette with a flush lid when lowered. Tidy and secure, but need depth and drainage under the drive. |
What moves the price in Stourport-on-Severn
Two Stourport-on-Severn jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Finish and keyed-alike locks
- Drainage for telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes
- Drive surface and how visible a repair will be
Looking after them
Keep a spare key somewhere safe away from the car keys. If the post becomes stiff, deal with it early, because a post that is awkward to use is a post that stops being locked.
