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 Aberystwyth, 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. Plots around Aberystwyth are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Aberystwyth we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
West Wales has a mild but wet climate, which makes drainage the first question on any resin job. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
