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 Rottingdean we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Rottingdean are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across East Sussex, the projects we price include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
