Security Post Bollards

Security Posts are used to protect the perimeter around an area, either in front of a parking space or to the entrance of a building. They are now becoming very popular with home owners in Lancashire.

We get asked by many of our clients to install these security posts to the front of their property usually when they have a new driveway installed. These will add protection to your home and will stop your car, trailer, van or caravan from being stolen from your driveway.

Our Security Posts are made from steel, are fully telescopic and are easy to see. They can be installed to the front, back or even the side of your property. Once installed, the posts can be pulled up from the ground manually. They can then be locked into place.

Automatic bollards are also available. These are operated by a keypad, control panel, remote control or a GSM dial in. There are many ranges to choose from, all with different specifications. If you are not sure what type of Security Bollard to go for, then our expert team can help. We can supply and installed the best type of security posts that will protect your property for many years. They are a great investment that no property owner should be without.

Want to protect and secure your premises against ram raids or illegal parking? Security posts are commonly used to protect properties as well as loading bay doors, driveways and forecourts, shops, warehouses and stores.

They are also used in car parks as well as pedestrianised areas. The posts fit into a socket embedded in concrete for added security and a key is used to effectively raise or lower the unit. Approved by Local Government Authorities and Police, these security posts are highly recommended by insurance companies.

How do security posts work?

Security posts can be fixed, removable or telescopic. They are typically installed into a sleeve in the ground, and when raised they provide a barrier that vehicle tyres cannot pass over. Some automatic bollards can be controlled with a remote or keypad for added convenience

Are security bollards suitable for residential driveways?

Yes — security bollards are commonly used on driveways to protect cars, trailers or caravans from theft, unwanted access or ram raids. Many Lancashire homeowners choose them when installing new driveways for added protection.

Can I choose manual or automatic security posts?

Both options are available. Manual posts are raised and lowered by hand and locked in place, while automatic posts can be operated via remote control, keypad or GSM dial-in, offering more convenience and control.

Do security posts require much maintenance?

Security posts and bollards are made from durable steel with weather-resistant finishes, so they require minimal maintenance. Occasional checks and lubrication of locking mechanisms will help ensure smooth operation over the years.

Do I need planning permission for security post installation?

In most residential cases, planning permission isn’t required for security posts or driveway bollards. As a local company, we’re familiar with the requirements across Lancashire and will advise you if anything needs to be checked before installation.

Will security bollards damage my driveway?

When installed correctly, security posts are fixed into a concrete base below the surface, ensuring they don’t damage the driveway surface. Our team prepares the area carefully and tidy up after installation for a neat finish.

If you are thinking about having a new driveway, then why not consider having these security posts installed at the same time. We can come out at a time that is convenient to you and give you a free no obligation quote.
