Driveway Bollards

Sometimes, security gates aren’t best suited to providing the safety you need on your residential premises – especially if you don’t have much room or you need to stick to a tight budget.

Thankfully, there is an alternative.

Our Expert Security UK’s driveway bollards are a cost-effective and less intrusive alternative to home security driveway gates, whilst still providing you with the peace of mind and property protection you need. 

Our driveway bollards are incredibly unobtrusive when in the retracted position, meaning you can get in and out of your drive with ease. Their intuitive design also allows them to rise smoothly and quietly when activated – ideal for residential areas.

    Benefits of driveway bollards


    1. Increased security

    Driveway bollards act as a physical barrier to prevent vehicles from entering private driveways without permission, reducing the risk of trespassing or break-ins happening. They can also act as a deterrent, preventing criminals from driving a stolen vehicle onto or off of your property.
    2. Vehicle and property protection

    Thanks to their impact resistance, driveway bollards prevent vehicles from accidentally rolling into areas they shouldn’t, such as gardens, garages, or buildings. They can also serve to protect valuable landscaping features, garden areas, or property structures from being damaged by vehicles driving at speed onto the premises.
    3. Control traffic flow

    In properties with shared or narrow driveways, driveway bollards help control and direct traffic flow, ensuring that vehicles are parked or moved properly. They can deter unauthorised vehicles from parking on private property or blocking entrances, by blocking their entrance in the first place.
    4. Enhanced safety

    Driveway bollards can offer a physical separation between areas where vehicles and pedestrians might interact, ensuring that pedestrians are protected from accidental collisions.
    5. Aesthetic and curb appeal

    Many driveway bollards come in various styles, materials, and finishes, allowing homeowners to choose options that match the aesthetics of their property. This can help to increase curb appeal, and even property value when selling the home.
    6. Cost-effective solution

    Driveway bollards are typically more affordable than full driveway gates, yet still offer a strong level of protection and deterrence. They also require less maintenance, reducing long-term costs.
    7. Insurance benefits

    Installing driveway bollards may lower home and property insurance costs, due to the added security and reduced risk of property damage. Not only do driveway bollards prevent unauthorised access and act as a crime deterrent, reducing the likelihood of filing insurance claims, but they also prevent accidents involving pedestrians and parked vehicles – further reducing liability risks. As such, insurance companies may offer lower premiums or discounts for homeowners who invest in such security measures, as it minimises their exposure to potential claims.

    Frequently asked questions

    • Can I put bollards on my driveway?

      Absolutely. Driveway bollards are a great, cost-effective alternative to traditional driveway gates. 

    • How do driveway bollards work?

      Driveway bollards are either automatic or telescopic. 

      Automatic bollards are the most popular bollard style for driveway use. They rise automatically through an access control system – such as a fob – rising and lowering on command to grant or deny access to your property, making the entire process far more streamlined. 

      Telescopic bollards, on the other hand, are much less common for driveway use. This is because they need to be manually raised and lowered to grant or deny the same access – typically by hand or with a specifically-designed metal rod. 

    • Do bollards prevent car theft?

      One of the benefits of driveway bollards is that they can prevent car theft. Whilst the bollards, themselves, can act as a crime deterrent, the impact resistance on driveway bollards means a criminal would have a very difficult job stealing your vehicle and driving it through the security measure.  

    • Do you need planning permission for bollards?

      Generally speaking, installing driveway bollards on a private residential property does not require planning permission. However, if you’re unsure, ask our expert team and seek insight from your local authority. 

    • Where can I find professional driveway bollard installers?

      Here! At Expert Security UK, we only employ fully-certified and trained professionals on our expert team – including our expert engineers and driveway bollard installers.

    • When will my driveway bollards be delivered and installed?

      At Expert Security, we don’t just simply accept an order and install it. Our team will survey your property to ensure you’re ordering the correct product, and tailor it to the needs of your driveway. Then, we will send our expert engineers to your property, at a time convenient for yourself, to install the driveway bollards – with minimal disruption to your daily life.
