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 Bearsden depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Bearsden mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Bearsden we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, 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 Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.

Dropped kerb applications in Bearsden: questions
Is the price fixed for Bearsden 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.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Bearsden?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as roads authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
Do I need planning permission in Bearsden?
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
