Dropped kerb applications across Clwyd
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.
Driving over a pavement without a dropped kerb is an offence and can damage pipes and cables under the footway, so a new drive with no crossing should not be used until one is in place.
Typical projects we can quote for in Wrexham include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance.
Prices in Clwyd

Dropped kerb applications: about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority.
Planning in Clwyd
A dropped kerb always needs consent from your council as local highway authority, whether or not the driveway itself needs planning permission. A new access onto a classified road can need planning permission as well.
Weather and working days
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. Laying days in Wrexham are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
Dropped kerb applications in Clwyd: questions
Do I need planning permission in Clwyd?
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
What postcodes do you cover around Clwyd?
We cover LL, CH and the surrounding districts, including Wrexham and Deeside.
Is the price fixed for Clwyd jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
