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 Bexley we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Housing in Bexley ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bexley include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.

Weather and working days
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
