Our story

Two friends, one very simple idea

Protecting the car on your drive should be easy. Clear prices, a proper installation and someone who picks up the phone. In 2023, that was surprisingly hard to find. So we built it.

Chapter one

Childhood friends. Same problem.

James and Flo grew up together, and like a lot of people, we’d both had our own run-ins with car theft. Not the sort of thing you forget in a hurry.

It wasn’t just us, either. Friends, family and neighbours were all doing the same thing: checking the drive before bed, sleeping a bit lighter, wondering whether the car would still be there in the morning.

Chapter two

So we tried to buy a bollard.

It’s a steel post in the ground. How hard can it be? Quite hard, it turns out.

Products varied wildly, and prices were impossible to compare. Advice depended on who you asked. Installation quality was a lottery: a good post in a shallow hole is a bad post. Nobody seemed to own the whole job from start to finish.

Chapter three

So, in 2023, we started Wentworth.

One idea: give every customer an incredible experience, from the first click to the last bag of concrete. Clear prices online. One installation standard on every drive. Honest advice. Fast, tidy installations. And a guarantee with our name on it.

What we set out to fix

Everything that frustrated us when we were the customer.

01

Prices you can see

Pop in your postcode and you get your fitted price in 60 seconds. The bollard, the digging, the concrete, the drainage, the making good and the clean-up. No “we’ll need to come out and have a look”, no surprises on the day.

02

One installation standard

Every security post goes into a steel sleeve set deep in concrete, with drainage underneath, the drive made good around it, and every bit of waste taken away. Same job, same standard, every time, whoever’s holding the spade.

03

Installers we’d trust on our own drives

Your bollard is fitted by one of our expert local installers: vetted by us, DBS-checked and fully insured, and held to our standard on every job.

04

Advice, not a sales pitch

If a £310 parking post solves your problem, we’ll tell you, even though an automatic bollard costs more. If a bollard isn’t right for your drive, we’ll tell you that too.

05

Quick, tidy turnaround

Most installs happen within 3 days, often the next day, and take 1–2 hours per bollard. We turn up, fit it properly and leave your drive as we found it. Just safer.

06

We stand behind it

Our Gold Guarantee: if thieves break through your Wentworth bollard to take your car within 12 months, we refund your installation in full.

No sales team. No call centre.

When you call, you get us.

Ring Wentworth and you won’t be passed to a sales team or a script. You’ll speak to James or Flo, the people who started the company and answer for every installation.

What happens when you call

  1. James or Flo picks up. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
  2. We ask about your drive and your car, and tell you straight which bollard you need.
  3. You get a fixed, fitted price. It never changes on the day.

“James at Wentworth Driveway Security was very helpful. We got the whole job done, from quote to fitting in just four days. The bollards are fully electric, and I feel more at ease now leaving my car on the driveway overnight. Especially with all the thieves about.”

“Very speedy service. Contacted them late on Friday to have a bollard installed. James chatted via text until 6.30pm' and installation by Dean happened on Tuesday after. Only took an hour and Dean left the area as he found it, but with a bollard installed. Happy with everything.”

“Very efficient and neat fitting of two stainless steel bollards by Dean. Would highly recommend this service to others thinking of increasing their security at home. Thank you Wentworth Driveway Security Bollards.”
