What dropped kerb applications involve
A dropped kerb, or vehicle crossover, is a lowered section of kerb and strengthened pavement that lets a car cross the footway to reach a driveway. It needs consent from the highway authority (your council in England, Wales and Scotland; DfI Roads in Northern Ireland), and the work in the pavement is done by that authority or a contractor it approves.
Groundwork prices in Sandhurst depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Sandhurst are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Sandhurst include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about dropped kerb applications.

General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Sandhurst are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
