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 Hawarden, 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. Many homes in Hawarden have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Hawarden we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Hawarden
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.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
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.
