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.
In Macclesfield, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Macclesfield 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 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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
