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 Harrow we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Harrow, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Typical projects we can quote for in Harrow include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Harrow
A dropped kerb always needs consent from your council as local highway 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 England, not legal advice.
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. Laying days in Harrow are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
