Frequently Asked Questions
Are telescopic and retractable bollards the same thing?
Yes — telescopic bollards and retractable bollards are the same product. Both terms describe bollards that retract into the ground when not in use. "Telescopic" refers to how the bollard slides into a sleeve, while "retractable" simply means it can be lowered.
How much do driveway bollards cost?
Prices vary depending on the type. Basic fold-down posts start around £300 installed, telescopic bollards typically range from £600–£1,000, and automatic bollards start from around £2,000 including installation. We provide free quotes tailored to your property.
Can bollards be installed on block paving or resin driveways?
Yes — we install bollards on all driveway surfaces including block paving, tarmac, concrete, gravel, and resin. The installation involves core-drilling a hole for the ground sleeve, which works on virtually any hard surface.
Which type of bollard is best for my driveway?
It depends on how often you use your driveway and your budget. Telescopic bollards are our most popular choice — affordable, secure, and easy to operate. Automatic bollards suit busy households or those with mobility concerns. We offer free advice to help you choose.
What areas do you cover for bollard installation?
We supply and install driveway bollards across London, Essex, Kent, Surrey, and Birmingham. Most installations are completed within a week of your quote being approved. Contact us to check availability in your area.
Can driveway bollards lower my car insurance?
Yes — many insurers offer discounts of 5–15% for approved security measures. Bollards that meet Sold Secure or LPS 1175 standards are recognised by most insurers. We can provide documentation for your insurance company on request.
What's the difference between telescopic and automatic bollards?
Telescopic bollards are manually operated with a key — you lift them up and lock them in place. Automatic bollards raise and lower at the push of a button or remote fob. Automatics cost more but are ideal for frequent use or mobility needs.
Do I need planning permission for a driveway bollard?
No — driveway bollards are classed as permitted development for residential properties. You don't need planning permission unless you live in a listed building or conservation area, where it's worth checking with your local council first.
How long does bollard installation take?
Most single bollard installations take 1–2 hours. Multiple bollards or automatic systems may take half a day. We handle everything from core drilling to fitting and testing — leaving your driveway clean and ready to use.
Are driveway bollards effective at stopping car theft?
Yes — driveway bollards are highly effective. They create a physical barrier that prevents vehicles from being driven away, even if a thief gains access to your car. Insurance-approved bollards like Sold Secure rated models are recognised by insurers as proven theft deterrents.
