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 Ashton-under-Lyne, 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. Homes in Ashton-under-Lyne range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Greater Manchester, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Ashton-under-Lyne jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
