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 Vale of Leven depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Vale of Leven are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Vale of Leven include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, 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.
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.
Dropped kerb applications in Vale of Leven: questions
Do I need planning permission in Vale of Leven?
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.
Is the price fixed for Vale of Leven 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.
