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.
Around 4 in 10 Reigate households (42%) 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.
86% of households in Reigate 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.

Your council is Reigate and Banstead Borough Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Reigate mixes a busy historic town centre with residential roads of family homes, many of which open straight onto the street. Resident permit schemes run in parts of the borough, such as Croydon Road in Reigate, and Surrey County Council's permit rules take account of how many off-street spaces a home already has.

“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 42% of Reigate 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 Reigate, including Woodhatch, South Park, Reigate Heath, Reigate Hill, Wray Park, Wray Common, Dovers Green (RH2). 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 Reigate and Banstead 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.
