Most cars stolen from homes are taken from the driveway without the keys: a relay device copies the signal from a keyless fob inside the house, and the car is gone in under a minute. A locked post in front of it means it can’t be driven away, however the thief got in.
48% of homes in Rayleigh 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.
82% of homes in Rayleigh 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
From 17 August 2026 a new residents' permit parking zone, Zone R, covers Helena Road, Alexandra Road, Louise Road and Bracken Dell in Rayleigh, with permit restrictions on weekdays from 10am to 11am and 2pm to 3pm. It was introduced by the South Essex Parking Partnership, which runs on-street parking for Rochford District.

“From my initial contact with Wentworth Driveway Security Bollards until the work was completed (the next day, as it happened) I have been very impressed by their efficiency, helpfulness and friendly pleasant approach - both by phone and on site. Thank you.”
“Contacted James who was very helpful and advised the best solution to secure our property using telescopic bollards. We arranged a date and the work was carried out to an extremely good standard, very neat and the bollards work exactly as we hoped.”
“Really pleased with the security bollard installed in our driveway by Wentworth. Installation was swift and very neatly done.”
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 47% of Rayleigh 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 Rayleigh, including Rayleigh Weir, Downhall, Sweyne Park, Rawreth, Hullbridge, Hockley (SS6, SS5). 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 Rochford District 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.
