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 Great Sankey depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Great Sankey mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Cheshire, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about dropped kerb applications.

General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Laying days in Great Sankey 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.
