If you regularly drive over a public pavement to access your property or driveway, you are legally required to have a drop kerb in place. Without it, you could be breaking the law every time your vehicle mounts the kerb.

As part of the process, you may also need to apply for permission from your local council. We’re familiar with the application requirements in each area we cover and can help guide you through the necessary steps.

Our drop kerb projects are carried out to full council specification and include:

• Underground utility scan (CAT scan) to locate any buried services
• Removal of existing kerbstones and installation of new, lower kerbs
• Tapered kerbs at either end to meet the existing footpath
• Excavation and resurfacing of the footpath using approved materials
• Waste disposal to a licensed facility
• Full reinstatement to match council standards

We manage every part of the project professionally and efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to your home or business.

Yes. Most local authorities require you to apply for permission before any drop kerb installation can begin. We can assist with the application process and liaise with the council on your behalf to ensure everything is approved correctly.

Cost varies on the size of the entrance to your property. We will come out take measurements and provide the best quote we can relating to the size of your project.

What is the work involved for a drop kerb project for the agreed quote price?

A CAT scan of the area is completed to indicate where underground utilities are located to make sure no damage occurs. Old kerbs will be removed and replaced with a lower version with two tapered sloped kerbs at either end of the access joining up to the existing footpath. Footpath between the road and property has to be removed and replaced with materials to council specification. All waste taken away to waste disposal site.
