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 Stanford-le-Hope we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Stanford-le-Hope have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across Essex, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.

General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. 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.
