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 Glenrothes we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Glenrothes have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across Fife, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Glenrothes
A dropped kerb always needs consent from your council as roads 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 Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Fife is fairly dry for Scotland, but frost and cold snaps mean resin is laid in suitable conditions only. 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.
