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 Guildford 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.
59% of homes in Guildford 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.

Your council is Guildford Borough Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Guildford's town centre residents' parking scheme is split into areas lettered A to J, and in the central Area D only a capped number of permits can be used at any one time, with a waiting list once the cap is reached. Under Surrey County Council's rules, a household with its own off-street space is allowed fewer permits, so whether a home has a driveway directly affects its on-street allowance.
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 Surrey County Council.Open council page ↗Planning

“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.”
“Had 2 security posts replaced , Wentworth security was excellent , did a great job I’m very impressed their staff..”
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 39% of Guildford 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 Guildford, including Merrow, Burpham, Onslow Village, Stoughton, Jacobs Well, Shalford, Bellfields, Charlotteville (GU1, GU2, GU4). 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 Guildford Borough Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact Surrey County Council, and ask Surrey 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.
