Permissions and groundwork in Bedworth
In Bedworth, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Warwickshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Bedworth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Nuneaton and Bedworth) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Surface-fixed posts depend entirely on what they are fixed to. Underground car park decks and podium slabs may contain reinforcement, post-tensioned tendons or waterproofing, and drilling must not damage them, so scanning and confirmation from the building manager come first.
- Do not fit posts that block emergency access routes or reduce the usable width of a fire lane.
- Get the landlord's or management company's agreement before fixing posts in a shared car park.
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.
Check operation
The post is raised, locked, unlocked and folded several times, and the folded height is checked against your car's clearance.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Finishes and visibility | Yellow, black or grey powder coat, with reflective bands so the raised post is visible at night. |
| Padlocked posts | Simple and easy to rekey by changing the padlock. Choose a shrouded padlock to resist bolt croppers. |
| Fixing methods | Resin anchors or through-bolts into concrete, or a small concrete pad where the existing surface is too weak. |
What affects the quote
Two Bedworth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Padlocked, integral-lock or remote-control post
- Car park decks needing scanning before drilling
- Surface type and whether a concrete pad is needed
Keeping them working
Where several residents share keys or padlock combinations, keep a simple record of who holds what, so a lost key does not end with the post being cut off. Replace padlocks that have become stiff or rusty before they seize.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bedworth.

Will I damage my car driving over a folded post?
Not if the post is positioned to sit between your wheels and folds low enough for your car's clearance. We check the folded height at installation. Very low cars may need a lower-profile design.
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.
