Driveway bollards in Newbury and Thatcham
Newbury and Thatcham are about 25 minutes from our Basingstoke base, straight up the A339. See your price online, and we'll confirm a fixed price in writing the same working day.
Where we cover
All of Newbury, Thatcham, Greenham, Hermitage, Bishop's Green and the villages around them. That's RG14, RG18 and RG19 postcodes, plus RG20 to the south and east, including Highclere and Ecchinswell.
Why Newbury drives are worth protecting
Newbury recorded 3.36 vehicle crimes per 1,000 residents in the 12 months to April 2026. That's above the South East average of 3.22 and nearly double Thatcham's 1.83. The full figures are on our car crime page.
A telescopic bollard locked in front of the car means it can't be driven off the drive, however it was unlocked.
New homes
Newbury has two big new neighbourhoods. The Newbury Racecourse development has outline permission for up to 1,500 homes, and Sandleford Park, on the south side of town, was given outline permission on appeal in 2022 for up to 1,000 homes and 80 extra-care homes.
If you're on a new estate, check your covenants or ask the management company before fitting anything at the front of the house.
Conservation areas
West Berkshire has 53 conservation areas, including Newbury Town Centre (designated 1971) and Thatcham (designated 1980). If your home is in one, or is listed, check with the council before you book. Our planning guide covers what to ask.
