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.
In Edmonton, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Edmonton has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Typical projects we can quote for in Edmonton 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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Greater London, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
