Thieves can open and start many modern cars without the keys, but they still need to drive them off the drive. A security post set deep in concrete blocks that getaway, so the car stays where you left it.
Around 4 in 10 Grays 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.
43% of homes in Grays are detached or semi-detached, most with somewhere to park off the road. A telescopic post sits flush when it’s down, so it’s there when you need it and out of the way when you don’t.

Local parking
Grays town centre is a controlled parking zone, with permit areas for residents and short-stay pay-and-display bays on the street. Lakeside Shopping Centre in West Thurrock, signposted from junctions 30 and 31 of the M25, draws shoppers from across the region to its 12 car parks.

“Wentworth Security did a great job fitting a security bollard for me, in super quick time at a competitive price. And to cap it all, they are really nice people! Highly recommended”
“Fantastic service from start to finish! The team installed my security bollards quickly and professionally. Great communication and quality work — highly recommend!”
“Couldn't recommend this company highly enough. Flo was professional and very helpful with answering all my questions! The bollard was fitted within a few days by Tony who did a great job of explaining how it worked. I now have complete peace of mind that my driveway is secure. Great company to deal with.”
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 Grays 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 Grays, including Little Thurrock, Chadwell St Mary, Stifford Clays, Badgers Dene, Chafford Hundred, West Thurrock, North Stifford, Orsett (RM16, RM17, RM20). 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 Thurrock Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact Thurrock Council (runs its own parking enforcement). If they’re parking on your drive itself, a fold-down or telescopic parking post stops it for good.
