Keyless thieves don’t need your keys or a broken window. They copy your fob’s signal from outside the house and drive off quietly. A steel post locked upright in front of the car is the one thing they can’t get past in seconds.
33% of homes in Chelmsford are semi-detached, often with drives side by side up to the boundary. A post placed close to your own car stops it being driven off without blocking your neighbour.
Around 4 in 10 Chelmsford households (38%) have two or more cars. If both are on the drive, one post placed across the only way out, or one in front of each car, keeps them both where you left them.

Your council is Chelmsford City Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Beaulieu Park station opened in north-east Chelmsford in October 2025, with two car parks, one run by the city council and one by NCP for Greater Anglia. If a car fully blocks an approved dropped kerb, the parking team can issue a penalty, but only when the resident reports it.
Cars blocking your drive?
Ask for an H-bar markingA white H-bar line across your dropped kerb makes it clear no one should park there. Apply through South Essex Parking Partnership (run by Chelmsford City Council).Open council page ↗Planning
Conservation areas and planningA bollard on your own drive rarely needs planning permission. If you’re in a conservation area or a listed building, check with Chelmsford City Council first.Open council page ↗Parking problems

“Efficient, professional and excellent value. Very happy to have the additional peace of mind and extra security on my property. Highly recommended.”
“Excellent all round job very pleased with the installation. Dean was very tidy with his work and would recommend them to anyone. I consider this to be a reasonable investment on the basis that I know if my car was stolen I know I wouldn't get back the true value of the from the car insurance company. Also I spoke to James on a Thursday and the job completed by Tuesday. Paul”
“We had 2 telescopic security posts fitted just before Christmas & are so pleased with the whole process. Very professional & clean. Flo was very patient with me asking lots of questions and didn’t pressure us into a decision.”
A raised, locked security post in front of your car stops it being driven off the drive, even if a thief has got in or copied a keyless fob. With 38% of Chelmsford households running two or more cars, we often fit one post per car. It’s the layer that still works when alarms and trackers don’t.
The same as everywhere we work. Fully fitted, telescopic security posts start from £799, heavy-duty from £949, automatic bollards from £2,999 and parking posts from £310. Every price includes fitting, concrete, drainage, making good and a full clean-up.
Yes. Our vetted local installers fit driveway security posts and parking posts across Chelmsford, including Springfield, Great Baddow, Writtle, Broomfield, Moulsham, Chelmer Village, Galleywood, Beaulieu Park (CM1, CM2). Enter your postcode for your fitted price.
Usually not, for a bollard on your own drive. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with Chelmsford City Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact South Essex Parking Partnership (run by Chelmsford City Council), and ask South Essex Parking Partnership (run by Chelmsford City Council) about an H-bar marking. If they’re parking on your drive itself, a fold-down or telescopic parking post stops it for good.
