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.
85% of households in St Albans have a car or van, so most drives here are in use every night. A security post locks the car in place overnight and drops flush in the morning.
Around 4 in 10 St Albans 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 St Albans City and District Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
St Albans City and District Council has noted that as residents' parking zones spread across St Albans and Harpenden, more non-resident cars began parking all day in the neighbouring uncontrolled roads, typically arriving in the morning and leaving in the evening like classic commuters. Residents unable to get out of their driveways is one of the complaints it lists, and the council offers a white H bar marking across a dropped kerb for £120.
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 St Albans City and District Council (parking authority, on behalf of Hertfordshire County 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 St Albans City and District Council first.Open council page ↗Parking problems

“Very quick turnaround from quotation to installation. James and the team were very friendly, helpful, and provided good advice. The team arrived on time on the day of fitting and left the driveway really clean, neat and tidy. Their price is higher than some competitors, and other places include a 3-year warranty in their price. Overall, a really good company and a positive experience. Thanks to James and the team for helping secure my driveway!”
“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.”
“Wentworth security Bollards have just fitted a telescopic bollard on my drive. I was worried as I didn’t want my paved drive too disrupted, however they arrived fitted the bollard quickly, cleaning with minimal impact to drive. I’m very happy with service.”
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 St Albans 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 St Albans, including Marshalswick, Fleetville, Jersey Farm, Bernards Heath, Sopwell, Chiswell Green, London Colney, Park Street (AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4). 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 St Albans City and District Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact St Albans City and District Council (runs on-street parking enforcement), and ask St Albans City and District Council (parking authority, on behalf of Hertfordshire County 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.
