Permissions and groundwork in Aylesbury
Buckinghamshire Council is the highway authority covering Aylesbury'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 Aylesbury is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Buckinghamshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Where the car park has heating cables or a membrane, the fixing method is agreed before drilling. Concrete of reasonable thickness holds resin anchors well.
- Get the landlord's or management company's agreement before fixing posts in a shared car park.
- Do not fit posts that block emergency access routes or reduce the usable width of a fire lane.
Installation, step by step
Survey the bay
A free site survey looks at the surface, the bay layout and where wheels run. You receive a fixed written quote for the posts, locks and any concrete pad.
Position the post
The post is placed where your car can straddle it when folded, usually central to the bay entrance, so tyres do not run over the hinge every day.
Drill and anchor
Holes are drilled into sound concrete, cleaned, and resin anchors or through-bolts set. On weak tarmac or block paving, a small concrete pad is formed first.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Post shapes | Round or square single posts, T-bar, and hoop styles for a wider barrier across the bay entrance. |
| Fixing methods | Resin anchors or through-bolts into concrete, or a small concrete pad where the existing surface is too weak. |
| Padlocked posts | Simple and easy to rekey by changing the padlock. Choose a shrouded padlock to resist bolt croppers. |
What affects the quote
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Aylesbury firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Post style: single, T-bar or hoop
- Number of bays and keyed-alike locks
- Padlocked, integral-lock or remote-control post
After installation
Replace padlocks that have become stiff or rusty before they seize. Keep the area around the base swept, because grit packed under a folded post stops it lying flat and lets it rattle.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Aylesbury.

Padlock or integral lock: which is better for a parking post?

Are fold-down posts suitable for EV charging bays?
Yes, they are a common way to keep a charging bay free for the vehicle that needs it. Position the post so it does not interfere with the charging cable route or the charger itself.
