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.
Before quoting groundworks in Hailsham we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Hailsham are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Hailsham include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Hailsham
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 England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. 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.
