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 Hayes we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Drives in Hayes range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Hayes include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. 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.
